o Achieved diluted earnings per share of $2.35, representing a 60% increase year over year;
o RPO and Professional Search achieved double digit fee revenue growth for the fourth consecutive year; and
o Advisory achieved fee revenue growth of 8% year over year.
Leading Corporate Governance Practices
Complementing our financial performance is our Company’s commitment to corporate governance, including:
o Majority voting for directors in uncontested elections;
o Declassified Board with annual election of directors;
o Independent Chair and independent Board members (except for CEO);
o Regular engagement with stockholders;
o Board diversity;
o Recent removal of supermajority voting requirements from our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws;
o This year’s proposal to amend our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow stockholders to call special stockholder meetings; and
o Maintenance of the highest possible ISS Governance QualityScore of 1.
Proxy Proposals
On September 26, 2018, Korn Ferry will hold its annual stockholder meeting. Your vote is very important. I urge you to review the enclosed information carefully and participate in this important process.
An important part of this Proxy Statement is a proposal to re-elect members to our Board of Directors. Each of the nominees have been selected for their experience, judgment, and integrity. Each of the nominees has been an important member of our Board and helped oversee the Company’s outstanding performance.
We also have included a proposal submitted by a stockholder. The Board of Directors has reviewed this proposal carefully and recommends voting against it because it is not in the best interest of long-term stockholders. A detailed rationale for our recommendation with respect to this proposal is enclosed.
The commentary above is only a snap shot of the Company’s Fiscal 2018 achievements, but we believe these achievements are representative of our commitment and progress. We strongly encourage each of our stockholders to review this Proxy Statement, vote promptly and convey their views.
On behalf of our Board, Senior Management, and the Company, thank you for being a Korn Ferry stockholder.
Sincerely,
George Shaheen,

Governance Insights (pages 9, 26 and 56)

Each of the Company’s standing Board committees is committed
to staying abreast of the latest issues impacting good corporate governance. The Company has included three sets of Questions & Answers (“Q&As”), one with the chair of each of the Company’s standing committees. These Q&As are meant
to provide stockholders with insight into committee-level priorities and perspectives on ESG, pay for performance, director
compensation, oversight of cybersecurity and implementation of new EU data protection regulations.

Equity awards based upon grant date value. Excludes the special one-time cash awards
made at the beginning of fiscal 2019 in recognition of extraordinary performance in fiscal 2018, as described in further detail
on page 35, because they are not part of the annual compensation program. Also excludes Mr. Arian, who joined the Company in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and thus did not participate in the ordinary annual grant cycle.

We review total direct compensation and the mix of the compensation components
for the named executive officers relative to our peer group as one of the factors in determining if compensation is adequate
to attract and retain executive officers with the unique set of skills necessary to manage and motivate our global people
and organizational advisory firm.

Elements of Compensation (pages 31 - 37)

Element

Purpose

Determination

Base Salary

Compensate for services rendered during the fiscal year and provide sufficient fixed cash income for retention and recruiting
purposes.

Reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation and Personnel Committee taking into account competitive data from our
peer group, input from our compensation consultant, and the executive’s individual performance.

Annual Cash Incentives

Motivate and reward named executive officers for achieving financial and strategy execution goals over a one-year period.

Determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee based upon performance goals, strategic objectives, competitive
data, and individual performance.

Long-Term Incentives

Align the named executive officers’ interests with those of stockholders, encourage the achievement of the long-term
goals of the Company, and motivate and retain top talent.

Determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee based upon a number of factors including competitive data, total
overall compensation provided to each named executive officer, and historic grants.

Our stockholders will be asked to consider eight nominees for
election to our Board of Directors to serve for a one-year term until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their
successors have been duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

The names of the eight nominees for director and their current
position with the Company are set forth below. Detailed biographical information regarding each of these nominees is provided
in this Proxy Statement under the heading “The Board of Directors.” All of the nominees, with the exception of Mr.
Burnison, have been determined by the Board to be independent under the rules of The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed the qualifications of each of the nominees and has recommended
to the Board that each nominee be submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting.

All of the nominees have indicated their willingness to serve,
if elected, but if any should be unable or unwilling to serve, proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the
Board. The Company did not receive any stockholder nominations for director. Proxies cannot be voted for more than the number
of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

REQUIRED VOTE

In uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority
of the votes cast, meaning that each director nominee must receive a greater number of shares voted “for” such nominee
than the shares voted “against” such nominee. If an incumbent director does not receive a greater number of shares
voted “for” such director than shares voted “against” such director, then such director must tender his
or her resignation to the Board. In that situation, the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would make
a recommendation to the Board about whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action. Within 90 days
from the date the election results were certified, the Board would act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s
recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and rationale behind it.

In a contested election—a circumstance we do not anticipate
at the Annual Meeting—directors are elected by a plurality vote.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD The
Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the nominees named above for election as a director.

The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the number of directors shall not be fewer than eight nor more than fifteen, with the exact number of directors within such
limits to be determined by the Board. Currently, the Board is comprised of eight directors. Upon the recommendation of the Company’s
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated the following persons to serve as directors until the 2019
Annual Meeting of Stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal:

Doyle N. Beneby

Jerry P. Leamon

Gary D. Burnison

Angel R. Martinez

William R. Floyd

Debra J. Perry

Christina A. Gold

George T. Shaheen

Each of the named nominees are independent under the NYSE rules,
except for Mr. Burnison. If reelected, Mr. Shaheen will continue to serve as the Company’s independent Non-Executive Chair
of the Board.

The Board held four meetings during fiscal year 2018. Each of
the directors who were on the Board at the time attended at least 75% of the Board meetings and the meetings of committees of
which they were members in fiscal 2018. Directors are expected to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. All directors then
serving attended the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person.

At Korn Ferry, we see
corporate responsibility as an important opportunity to impact people’s lives and the communities we serve. We
strive to align environmental, social and governance issues to our purpose and values through our Korn Ferry Cares
corporate responsibility program. Earlier this year, Korn Ferry published a Corporate Responsibility Report describing
the Company’s commitments to our employees, ethical behavior, charitable giving, community involvement, and
sustainability. Please see our Corporate Responsibility Report, available at https://dsqapj1lakrkc.cloudfront.net/media/sidebar_downloads/KF-Corporate-Responsibility-AR-2017-Digital-Spreads.pdf.
We plan to build on this foundation in the coming years, and will continue to assess and modify our business in ways that
can impact positive social and environmental change.

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

The Board believes that the Board, as a whole, should possess
a combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of backgrounds necessary to oversee the Company’s business.
In addition, the Board believes there are certain attributes every director should possess, as reflected in the Board’s
membership criteria discussed below. Accordingly, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider the
qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition
and the Company’s current and future needs.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible
for developing and recommending Board membership criteria to the full Board for approval. The criteria, which are set forth in
the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, include:

•

a reputation for integrity,

•

honesty and adherence to high ethical standards,

•

strong management experience,

•

current knowledge and contact in the Company’s industry or other
industries relevant to the Company’s business,

•

the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board and Committee
activities, and

•

the fit of the individual’s skills and personality with those of
other directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial, diverse and responsive to the needs of the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks a variety
of occupational, educational and personal backgrounds on the Board in order to obtain a range of viewpoints and perspectives and
to enhance the diversity of the Board in such

areas as professional experience, geography, race, gender, ethnicity,
and age. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does believe it is essential that Board members represent diverse viewpoints and
backgrounds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically evaluates the composition of the Board to assess the
skills and experience that are currently represented on the Board, as well as the skills and experience that the Board will find
valuable in the future, given the Company’s current situation and strategic plans. This periodic assessment enables the
Board to update the skills and experience it seeks in the Board as a whole, and in individual directors, as the Company’s
needs evolve and change over time and to assess the effectiveness of efforts at pursuing diversity.
In identifying director candidates from time to time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may establish specific
skills and experience that it believes the Company should seek in order to constitute a balanced and effective board.

In evaluating director candidates, and considering incumbent
directors for renomination to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account a variety of factors.
These include each nominee’s independence, financial literacy, personal and professional accomplishments, and experience,
each in light of the composition of the Board as a whole and the needs of the Company in general, and for incumbent directors,
past performance on the Board.

BOARD DIVERSITY

The Board and Company are focused on ensuring the Board reflects
a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and cultures. Fifty percent of our director nominees are women or ethnically diverse
individuals.

DIRECTOR TENURE

The Company believes that a variety of tenures on our Board
helps to provide an effective mix of deep knowledge and new perspectives. The current tenure of our Board is as follows:

The Board believes the contribution of each director is the most important factor for determining continued service. Under the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director is generally not eligible to stand for re-election after his or her 74th birthday, but the Board may, after a formal review of a director’s contributions, allow such a director to stand for election to one additional term of service after reaching his or her 74th birthday. Mr. Shaheen, director and Non-Executive Chair of the Board, will have met the retirement age at the Annual Meeting, and after its review of Mr. Shaheen’s skills, experience, and continued contribution as a Board member, the Board resolved to renominate Mr. Shaheen for one additional term of service at the Annual Meeting.

The biographies below set forth information about each of the nominees for director, including each such person’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board to conclude that such nominee/director should serve on our Board. The process undertaken by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in recommending qualified director candidates is described below under “Corporate Governance—Board Committees—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board has determined that as of the date
hereof a majority of the Board is “independent” under the independence standards of the NYSE. The Board has determined
that the following directors are “independent” under the independence standards of the NYSE: Doyle N. Beneby, William
R. Floyd, Christina A. Gold, Jerry P. Leamon, Angel R. Martinez, Debra J. Perry, and George T. Shaheen.

For a director to be “independent”,
the Board must affirmatively determine that such director does not have any material relationship with the Company. To assist the
Board in its determination, the Board reviews director independence in light of the categorical standards set forth in the NYSE’s
Listed Company Manual. Under these standards, a director cannot be deemed “independent” if, among other things:

•

the director is, or has been within the last three years,
an employee of the Company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer
of the Company;

•

the director has received, or has an immediate family member who received,
during any 12-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other
than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation
is not contingent in any way on continued service);

•

(1) the director or an immediate family member is a current partner
of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor, (2) the director is a current employee of such a firm,
(3) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on the Company’s
audit, or (4) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years a partner or employee of such firm
and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time;

•

the director or an immediate family member is, or has been within
the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company’s present executive
officers at the same time serve or served on that company’s compensation committee; or

•

the director is a current employee, or an immediate family member
is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property
or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2% of the other
company’s consolidated gross revenues.

The independent directors of the Board meet regularly
in executive sessions outside the presence of management. Mr. George Shaheen, as Chair of the Board, currently presides at all
executive sessions of the independent directors. Subject to his reelection at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Shaheen will continue in
this role following the Annual Meeting.

2018 Proxy Statement

All current members of the Board, with the exception
of our CEO, Mr. Burnison, are independent. Further, all members of our Audit Committee, Compensation and Personnel Committee and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines
provide that the Board is free to select its Chair and CEO in the manner it considers to be in the best interests of the Company
and that the role of Chair and CEO may be filled by a single individual or two different persons. This provides the Board with
flexibility to decide what leadership structure is in the best interests of the Company at any point in time. Currently, the Board
is led by an independent, non-executive Chair, Mr. George Shaheen. Mr. Shaheen will continue to serve as Chair of the Board, subject
to his reelection as a director at the Annual Meeting. The Board has determined that having an independent director serve as Chair
of the Board is in the best interests of the Company at this time as it allows the Chair to focus on the effectiveness and independence
of the Board while the CEO focuses on executing the Company’s strategy and managing the Company’s business. In the
future, the Board may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to combine the role of Chair and CEO.

BOARD’S OVERSIGHT OF ENTERPRISE RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board plays an active role, both as a whole
and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. Management is responsible for the Company’s
day-today risk management activities. The Company has established an enterprise risk framework for identifying, aggregating and
evaluating risk across the enterprise. The risk framework is integrated with the Company’s annual planning, audit scoping,
and control evaluation management by its internal auditor. The review of risk management is a dedicated periodic agenda item for
the Audit Committee, whose responsibilities include periodically reviewing management’s financial and operational risk assessment
and risk management policies, the Company’s major financial risk exposures (including risks related to cyber security vulnerabilities),
and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Company’s other Board committees also consider
and address risk during the course of their performance of their committee responsibilities. Specifically, the Compensation and
Personnel Committee reviews the risks related to the Company’s compensation programs for senior management, discussed in
more detail below, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with operations of the Board
and its governance structure. Further, the General Counsel periodically reports to the Board on litigation and other legal risks
that may affect the Company. The full Board monitors risks through regular reports from each of the Committee chairs and the General
Counsel, and is apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of corporate
matters. We believe the division of risk management responsibilities described above provides an effective framework for evaluating
and addressing the risks facing the Company, and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach because it allows our
independent directors, through the independent committees and non-executive Chair, to exercise effective oversight of the actions
of management.

Assessment of Risk Related to Compensation Programs

During fiscal 2018, the Company completed its
annual review of executive and non-executive compensation programs globally, with particular emphasis on incentive compensation
plans and programs. Based on this review, the Company evaluated the primary components of its compensation plans and practices
to identify whether those components, either alone or in combination, properly balanced compensation opportunities and risk. As
part of this inventory, several factors were noted that reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking. These factors include:
balancing performance focus between near-term objectives and strategic initiatives; issuing annual equity awards that vest over
multi-year time horizons (and, in the case of named executive officers, a majority of which are also subject to the achievement
of performance goals); and maintaining stock ownership guidelines and a clawback policy applicable to our executive officers. Furthermore,
the Compensation and Personnel Committee retains its own independent compensation consultant to provide input on executive pay
matters, meets regularly, and approves all performance goals, award vehicles, and pay opportunity levels for named executive officers.
As a result of this evaluation, the Company concluded that risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices
are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company.

BOARD COMMITTEES

Although the full Board considers all major decisions,
the Company’s Bylaws permit the Board to have the following standing committees to more fully address certain areas of importance:
(1) an Audit Committee, (2) a Compensation and Personnel Committee, and (3) a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The
members of the standing committees as of the date hereof are set forth in the tables below. Following the Annual Meeting, the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee intends to evaluate the composition of the standing committees and make recommendations to the
Board regarding any appropriate changes to the Committees.

whom the Board has determined are “independent directors” under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the
applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Board, in its business judgment, has determined
that Ms. Perry and Messrs. Leamon, Floyd, and Martinez are “financially literate,” under the NYSE rules, and that
Mr. Leamon and Ms. Perry qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of

from her many years of experience in the financial services industry and service on other public company Audit Committees. The
Audit Committee met eight times in fiscal 2018. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board,
which is available on the Company’s website and in print to any stockholder that requests it. To access the charter from

CULTURE OF INTEGRITY
AND CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Korn Ferry is committed to having and maintaining
a strong and effective global Ethics and Compliance Program. Consistent with that commitment, the Board has and continues to promote
the Company’s culture of ethics and integrity. The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable
to all directors, employees and officers (including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal
Accounting Officer). Korn Ferry colleagues know that quality and professional responsibility starts with them and the Board has
emphasized that with the “tone at the top.” The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides a set of shared values
to guide our actions and business conduct, including: loyalty, honesty, accountability, observance of ethical standards, and adherence
to the law. Among other things, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires directors, employees, and officers to maintain
the confidentiality of all information entrusted to them (except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated); to deal fairly
with the Company’s clients, service providers, suppliers, competitors, and employees; to protect Company assets; and for
those who have a role in the preparation and/or review of information included in the Company’s public filings, to report
such information accurately and honestly. It also prohibits directors, employees, and officers from using or attempting to use
their position at the Company to obtain an improper personal benefit. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the
Company’s website and in print to any stockholder that requests it. To access the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics from
the Company’s website, go to www.kornferry.com, select “Investor Relations” from the drop-down menu, then

We intend to post on the Company’s website amendments, if any, to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as well as any
waivers thereunder, with respect to our officers and directors as required to be disclosed by the SEC and NYSE rules.

Korn Ferry asks all directors, officers, and
personnel, no matter where they are in the world, to make a commitment to abide by the Code, and the Company’s values and
ethical business conduct practices. Our ethical business conduct practices and oversight include the following:

•

the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee selects potential
Board candidates who are committed to promoting the Company’s values, including a corporate culture of ethics and integrity;

•

the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the implementation
and effectiveness of the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Program, including compliance with the Code;

•

the Company has a General Counsel and Deputy Compliance Officer with
a direct reporting channel to the Audit Committee; and

•

the Company conducts compliance-related internal audits, investigations,
and monitoring.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines,
which among other things, impose limits on the number of directorships each member of the Board may hold (the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company may not sit on more than two boards of directors of public companies (including the Company), while all other directors
may not sit on more than five boards of directors of public companies (including the Company)); specifies the criteria to be considered
for director candidates; and requires non-management directors to meet periodically without management. Additionally, the guidelines
require that, when a director’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially during his or her tenure
as a director, that director is required to provide written notice of such change to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee, and agree to resign from the Board if the Board determines to accept such resignation. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee must then review and assess the circumstances surrounding such change, and recommend to the Board
any appropriate action to be taken. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Company’s website and in print
to any stockholder that requests it. To access the Corporate Governance Guidelines from the Company’s website, go to www.kornferry.com,
select “Investor Relations” from the drop-down menu, then click on the “Corporate Governance” link located

In accordance with the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and more specifically, Section 14A of the Exchange Act which was
added under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are asking stockholders to vote on an advisory resolution
to approve the Company’s executive compensation as reported in this Proxy Statement. Our executive compensation program
is designed to support the Company’s long-term success. As described below in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”
section of this Proxy Statement, the Compensation and Personnel Committee has structured our executive compensation program to
achieve the following key objectives:

•

provide compensation packages to our executives that are competitive
with other major employment services firms, a broader group of human capital companies, and similarly-sized publicly traded
companies;

•

closely tie individual annual cash incentive and equity-based awards to
the performance of the Company as a whole, or one or more of its divisions or business units as well as to the team and individual
performance of the named executive officer; and

•

align the interests of senior management with those of our stockholders
through direct ownership of Company common stock and by providing a portion of each named executive officer’s direct
total compensation in the form of equity-based incentives.

We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation
Discussion and Analysis” section below, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures
operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation
tables and narrative below which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation
and Personnel Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Compensation Discussion
and Analysis” section are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executive officers reported
in this Proxy Statement has supported and contributed to the Company’s success.

We are asking stockholders to approve the
following advisory resolution at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of
Korn Ferry (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive
officers set forth in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables
and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred
to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is non-binding on the Board. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation
and Personnel Committee will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation program.
Taking into account the advisory vote of stockholders regarding the frequency of future “say-on-pay” votes at our
2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board’s current policy is to include an advisory resolution to approve the compensation
of our named executive officers annually. Accordingly, unless the Board modifies its policy on the frequency of future “say-on-pay”
votes, the next advisory vote to approve our executive compensation will occur at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD The
Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Company’s advisory resolution to approve executive compensation.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis
(“CD&A”) section provides a detailed description of our compensation philosophy, practices, and the factors and
process used in making compensation decisions with respect to our fiscal 2018 named executive officers (“NEOs”), namely:

The Company had strong financial and operating performance during
fiscal 2018. Below are a few performance highlights:

Achieved record Fee Revenue of $1.767
Billion, representing a nearly 13% increase year over year and the Company’s highest annual Fee Revenue
in its 48-year history

Achieved Diluted Earnings Per Share of $2.35, representing a 60%
increase year over year

Introduced Korn Ferry Advance, a direct-to-consumer career development
platform

RPO and Professional Search achieved double-digit Fee Revenue growth for the fourth consecutive year, continuing its growth at a pace faster than the overall industry and Advisory
achieved Fee Revenue growth of 8% year over year

Returned approximately $23 Million to stockholders through quarterly
dividend payments and $33.1 Million to stockholders through share repurchases

The following chart graphically displays the Company’s
Fee Revenue performance for the last five fiscal years:

Q & A WITH JERRY LEAMON, CHAIR OF THE COMPENSATION
AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

Question:How did executive
compensation for fiscal year 2018 reflect the Company’s performance during the fiscal year and prior years?

A majority of our executive pay is tied
to Company performance. Our annual incentive plan serves to motivate and reward executives for achieving financial and strategy
execution goals over a one-year period. The Company’s strong performance during fiscal year 2018 resulted in maximum payouts
under the annual incentive plan for Mr. Burnison and Mr. Rozek. Our long-term incentive program rewards executives for achievement
of longer-term financial goals, including total stockholder return. The relative TSR performance-based restricted stock units
for the three-year performance cycle ending on April 20, 2018 vested as to 189% of the target level. Additionally, in recognition
of the exceptional Company performance in fiscal year 2018, the Committee made special one-time performance awards to certain
senior executives, including the NEOs.

Question:How
does the Committee set compensation for non-employee directors?

The Committee, in consultation with Pearl
Meyer, its independent compensation consultant, periodically reviews non-employee director compensation and recommends changes
based on competitive market data. Most recently, increases in director compensation that became effective for fiscal year 2018
were implemented in order to better align director compensation with that of our peer group.

Stockholder Value Delivered

Special One-Time Cash and Equity Awards

In recognition of the exceptional Company
performance described above, the Committee made special one-time performance awards to certain senior executives, including the
NEOs. Further detail regarding these awards can be found on page 35 of this Proxy Statement.

A primary focus of our compensation program
is aligning executive pay with stockholder interests. A key element used to achieve this goal is providing annual incentive compensation
opportunities that only result in payouts based on the extent of achievement of pre-established performance criteria. As described
in more detail below, our Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) sets performance metrics (and associated
targets) consisting of financial goals and strategic execution Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”). With the exception
of certain minimum guaranteed payouts made as part of the negotiations with new hires, executives are not guaranteed payouts under
the annual cash incentive plan and payouts from year to year will vary based on achievement of the applicable financial metrics
and strategy execution KPIs.

The charts below show the components of
Mr. Burnison’s total compensation for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 and our corresponding achievement of the applicable KPIs
under the annual cash incentive plan for each year. Company performance in fiscal 2018 was very strong with share price appreciation
of 65%, resulting in an incremental $1.1 billion in shareholder value. Similarly, even though the performance goals under the
annual incentive plan were challenging and are generally set at higher levels year over year, our achievement of the applicable
metrics and KPIs under the plan equaled or exceeded the maximum in all cases. This resulted in the maximum payout under the annual
incentive plan for Mr. Burnison of 200% of target as compared to approximately 140% of target in fiscal 2017. We exceeded target
goals under the annual incentive plan in both fiscal years, with fiscal year 2018 results exceeding those of fiscal year 2017
for all applicable metrics as described in further detail below. The Committee will continue to set challenging performance goals
in the future to incentivize superior performance year over year. As discussed in more detail below, the Committee made a special
one-time cash and equity award to the NEOs, including the CEO, in light of superior performance in 2018.

*

Total compensation takes into account the cash portion
of the special one-time bonus discussed in further detail on page 35. The Annual Cash Incentive does not include such one-time
award.

**

Achievement of the applicable metrics and KPIs under the plan equaled
or exceeded maximum in all cases resulting in the maximum payout under the plan of 200% of target.

Stockholder Engagement and Consideration
of Last Year’s Say on Pay Vote

Korn Ferry interacts with its stockholders
to obtain stockholder views on various topics from our Company strategy to capital allocation and executive compensation. At the
2017 Annual Meeting, approximately 94% of the votes cast were in favor of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation.
In consideration of the stockholder vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting, as well as the Company’s
increased performance, the Committee decided to maintain our executive compensation programs for 2018. The Company will continue
to consider our stockholders’ input in all facets of our business, including executive compensation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OVERSIGHT

Philosophy

The Company is a global organizational consulting
firm. The Company helps its clients design their organization – the structure, the roles and responsibilities, as well as
how they compensate, develop and motivate their people. As importantly, the Company helps organizations select and hire the talent
they need to execute their strategy. The Company’s unique global positioning allows it to maintain enhanced brand visibility
and to attract and retain high-caliber consultants. The Company provides its services to a broad range of clients through the expertise
of approximately 541 Executive Search, 577 Advisory (formerly known as the Hay Group), and 274 Recruitment Process Outsourcing
and Professional Search (formerly known as Futurestep) consultants who are primarily responsible for client services and who are
located in 52 countries throughout the world. Accordingly, the Company’s executive officers must have the skills and experience
to manage and motivate an organization spread over a large number of countries with varying business and regulatory environments.
The market for these talented individuals is highly competitive. The Company’s compensation philosophy focuses on attracting,
retaining, and properly rewarding the right candidates for their contributions.

The Committee is diligent about establishing
an executive compensation program offering competitive total direct compensation opportunities, which are aligned to stockholder
return through established performance criteria grounded in the Company’s Strategic Plan and Annual Operating Plan (“AOP”).

2018 Proxy Statement

28

The Committee is guided by the following
principles in establishing and assessing compensation programs and policies for the NEOs:

•

Individual annual cash incentive and equity-based awards should be closely tied to the performance
of the Company as a whole or one or more of its divisions or business units, as well as to the team and individual performance
of the NEO;

•

The interests of senior management and the Company’s stockholders should be aligned through
direct ownership of Company common stock and by providing a portion of each NEO’s total direct compensation in the form of
equity-based incentives; and

•

Total direct compensation must be competitive with our peer group, a broader group of human capital
companies and similarly sized publicly traded companies.

*

Equity awards based upon grant date value. Excludes the special one-time cash awards made at
the beginning of fiscal 2019 in recognition of extraordinary performance in fiscal 2018, as described in further detail on page
35, because they are not part of the annual compensation program. Also excludes Mr. Arian, who joined the Company in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2017 and thus did not participate in the ordinary annual grant cycle.

OUR PROCESS: FROM STRATEGY TO COMPENSATION-RELATED
METRICS

The process for setting annual compensation-related
metrics begins at an annual off-site meeting where the Company reviews with the Board its Strategic Plan (including goals and objectives).
As part of the Strategic Plan, the Company establishes a Strategy Execution Framework (“SEF”) to drive performance
and achievement of its strategic goals. That framework is represented by the five pillars below; each of which is comprised of
detailed activities which, when executed, are designed to drive financial performance goals set within the Company’s Strategic
Plan:

•

integrated, solutions-based go-to-market strategy,

•

extend and elevate the brand,

•

unparalleled client excellence,

•

premier career destination, and

•

non-executive search solutions.

In setting the financial goals that underlie
the Strategic Plan, the Company considers a number of internal and external factors such as:

•

revenue growth in excess of GDP expectations,

•

projected macro-economic data such as employment trends,

•

forecasted GDP in the countries where the Company has significant operations,

•

internal investment activities,

•

market expectations for revenue and earnings growth for recruiting and staffing industry public companies,

•

recent and expected levels of new business activity,

•

increased productivity of fee earners,

•

focus on increasing Executive Search, RPO and Professional Search and Advisory collaboration efforts, and

Then, during an end of fiscal year process,
the Board approves an AOP for the upcoming fiscal year. For the NEOs, the Committee establishes annual bonus plan targets with
financial and strategic execution KPIs that are derived from the SEF and AOP.

2018 Proxy Statement

29

Such financial targets and strategic execution
KPIs form the basis for each NEO’s annual cash incentives and are tracked and measured during the course of the year with
the year-end results reported to the Committee for determining year-end annual cash bonus awards.

Use of Independent Advisor

The Committee retains compensation consultants
to assist it in assessing the competitiveness of the NEOs’ compensation. In fiscal 2018, the Committee retained Pearl Meyer &
Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”). Pursuant to the factors set forth in Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act,
the Committee has reviewed the independence of Pearl Meyer and conducted a conflicts of interest assessment (taking into consideration
factors specified in the NYSE listing standards) and has concluded that Pearl Meyer is independent and their work for the Committee
has not raised any conflicts of interest. No other fees were paid to Pearl Meyer except fees related to their services to the Committee.

Use of a Peer Group

The Company does not target or position NEO
pay levels at a specific percentile level relative to a peer group. Rather, the Company reviews total direct compensation and the
mix of the compensation components relative to the peer group as one of the factors in determining if compensation is adequate
to attract and retain executive officers with the unique set of skills necessary to manage and motivate our global human capital
management firm.

Because a number of the Company’s peer
organizations are privately-held, precise information regarding executive officer compensation practices among the Company’s
competitor group is difficult to obtain. In addition, even when such data is available, meaningful differences in size, complexity
and organizational structure among the Company’s peer group make direct comparisons of compensation practices challenging
and require exercise of judgment. In assessing the competitiveness of the Company’s NEO compensation, the Committee relies
on information obtained from the proxy statements of publicly-traded competitors, information derived from data obtained from other
public sources with respect to competitor organizations, and the general knowledge of the Committee and its compensation consultant
with regard to the market for senior management positions.

For fiscal 2018, the Committee used the following
companies as a peer group:

CBIZ, Inc.

Kforce Inc.

FTI Consulting, Inc.

Navigant Consulting, Inc.

Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.

Resources Connection, Inc.

Huron Consulting Group Inc.

Robert Half International Inc.

ICF International, Inc.

The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation

Insperity, Inc.

Willis Towers Watson

Kelly Services, Inc.

TrueBlue, Inc.

This peer group was primarily selected based
upon criteria such as business lines, operating model, customer base, revenue, market capitalization and entities with which the
Company competes for stockholder investment. The Committee reviews the peer group on an annual basis. Revenue and market capitalization
data for this peer group and the Company are as follows:

While the Committee does not target a particular
position relative to its peer group in determining the salary, annual cash incentive and long-term incentive levels for each NEO,
the Committee does consider the range of salary, annual cash incentive and long-term incentive levels that the peer group provides
to similarly situated executives and intends that the levels provided to each NEO fall within that range. The salary, annual cash
incentive and long-term incentive levels for fiscal 2018 generally fell within this range and are generally intended to be within
the 25th to 75th percentile of the range.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION & COMPENSATION
DECISIONS AND ACTIONS

Base Salary

Base salary is intended to compensate NEOs
for services rendered during the fiscal year and to provide sufficient fixed cash income for retention and recruiting purposes.
NEO base salary levels are reviewed on an annual basis by the Committee. In addition to competitive data from the peer group, data
is also obtained from other sources with respect to non-public competitor organizations. The Committee also incorporates its perspective
and the market knowledge of its compensation consultant related to senior management positions in assessing base salary levels.
Further, the Committee takes into consideration individual performance of each NEO and, with respect to the NEOs other than the
Chief Executive Officer, input from the Chief Executive Officer. There were no changes to the base salaries of our NEOs for fiscal
year 2018.

Annual Cash Incentives

Annual cash incentives are intended to motivate
and reward NEOs for achieving financial and strategy execution goals over a one-year period. The Committee determines annual cash
incentive amounts based upon a number of factors including financial goals, strategy execution objectives, competitive data, and
individual performance, as described in more detail below. While the Committee primarily bases annual cash incentive awards on
performance against these objectives for the year, it retains discretion in determining actual bonus payouts. Annual cash incentives
are typically paid in cash, but the Committee may choose to pay a portion of the annual cash incentive in equity or other long-term
incentives.

Our Metrics: Measuring
Performance

The Committee, using the Company’s
strategic plan, SEF and AOP as a basis, sets performance metrics and associated targets for our NEOs. These performance metrics
typically are separated into two categories: financial metrics and strategy execution KPIs.

For fiscal year 2018, the Committee
selected the following financial performance metrics:

Financial Metric

Adjusted Fee Revenue

Adjusted Fee Revenue (as approved for purposes
of setting KPIs for the bonus plan) is defined as Fee Revenue in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2018 (“Form 10-K”) excluding the deferred Revenue write-off related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition
and adjusted to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations by translating fiscal 2018 actual results at a currency rate comparable
to the rate used in the Company’s Annual Operating Plan for 2018. In fiscal 2018, there were no deferred Revenue write-off
adjustments related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition.

Adjusted Diluted EPS

Adjusted Diluted EPS (as approved for purposes
of setting KPIs for the bonus plan) is defined as Diluted Earnings per Share, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K, excluding
the deferred Revenue write-off related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and adjusted to exclude the tax impact associated with
the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December of 2017 (the “US Tax Act”), restructuring (recoveries) charges, net,
integration / acquisition costs, management separation costs and the write-off of debt issuance costs (all on an after tax basis),
and further adjusted to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations by translating fiscal 2018 actual results at a currency rate
comparable to the rate used in the Company’s Annual Operating Plan for 2018. In fiscal 2018, there were no deferred Revenue
write-off adjustments related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and actual results did not include any management separation
costs or write-offs of debt issuance costs.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as approved for purposes
of setting KPIs for the bonus plan) is defined as GAAP Net Income plus interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses excluding
the deferred Revenue write-off related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and adjusted to exclude restructuring (recoveries) charges,
net, integration / acquisition costs, management separation costs and further adjusted to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations
by translating fiscal 2018 actual results at a currency rate comparable to the rate used in the Company’s Annual Operating
Plan for 2018, divided by Adjusted Fee Revenue. In fiscal 2018, there were no deferred Revenue write-off adjustments related to
the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and actual results did not include any management separation costs.

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (as approved
for purposes of setting KPIs for the bonus plan) is defined as GAAP Net Income, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K, excluding
the deferred Revenue write-off related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and adjusted to exclude the tax impact associated with
the US Tax Act, restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration / acquisition costs, management separation costs and the write-off
of debt issuance costs (all on an after tax basis), and adjusted to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations by translating
fiscal 2018 actual results at a currency rate comparable to the rate used in the Company’s Annual Operating Plan for 2018,
divided by average stockholders’ equity plus average outstanding debt. In fiscal 2018, there were no deferred Revenue write-off
adjustments related to the Legacy Hay Group acquisition and actual results did not include any management separation costs or write-offs
of debt issuance costs.

2018 Proxy Statement

Strategy execution KPIs constitute the other
group of performance metrics. Grounded in the Company’s Strategic Plan, SEF and AOP, the inclusion and use of these KPIs
are designed with the intent of aligning compensation with the achievement of the Company’s strategic long-term goals, namely
efforts to expand its service offerings. While these KPIs are strategic in nature, each KPI does have identified metrics and measurements
assigned to it; some of which tie back to specific financial metrics.

Linked to the Company’s integrated solutions drive “go-to market” strategy of building deeper, multi-service line relationships with clients

Target set based upon targeted revenues from an agreed-upon list of clients

Top Rated Performers Retention (based upon the percentage of highly-rated executive search senior client partners and Advisory senior partners/ managing directors which are retained throughout the fiscal year)

Linked to the Company’s strategic goal of being a premier career destination

Target set by Committee derived from the SEF and AOP

*

As described above, adjusted to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations by translating
fiscal 2018 actual results at a currency rate comparable to the rate used in the Company’s Annual Operating Plan for 2018.

The Board, Committee and Company believe
they have set targets with appropriate rigor. When setting fiscal year 2018 targets, and determining fiscal year 2018 actuals,
adjustments were made to eliminate the effect of currency fluctuations by translating actual results at a foreign currency rate
comparable to the rate used in the Company’s 2018 Annual Operating Plan. The rate used for the 2018 Annual Operating Plan
was based on the fiscal year 2017 foreign currency rate. As noted in last year’s proxy statement, a similar process was used
for 2017. In setting fiscal year 2018 targets, the Committee considered fiscal year 2017 targets and actuals, but in order to align
with the 2018 Annual Operating Plan, made adjustments using the fiscal year 2017 foreign currency rate. Except as discussed below,
in each case, the fiscal year 2018 targets were higher than the fiscal year 2017 targets and actuals, when the fiscal 2017 actuals
are adjusted based on the fiscal year 2017 foreign currency rate. With respect to the KPI for Marquee Accounts, the fiscal year
2018 target was set above fiscal year 2017 actual but below the fiscal year 2017 target. As discussed in last year’s proxy
statement, the Hay Group acquisition brought with it increased product revenues which tend to be associated with many smaller,
unique clients that are outside of our largest accounts which comprise the Marquee Accounts KPI. This had the potential of disproportionately
increasing the denominator in the calculation of the KPI. To ensure rigor in this KPI, the Committee increased the target. For
fiscal year 2018, the goal was set above the fiscal year 2018 actual. In connection with Mr. Mulrooney’s first full year
in charge of Products, the Committee applied an additional metric in fiscal year 2018 relating to Adjusted Fee Revenue for Products.
Because Mr. Arian commenced employment at the end of fiscal year 2017, he did not participate in the annual cash incentive program
in fiscal year 2017. The table below discusses target and actual results for fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018.

Determinations and Results

After the end of the fiscal year, the Committee
evaluated each NEO’s achievements against the financial and strategy execution targets. Notwithstanding the structure outlined
above, while the Committee primarily bases its determination of annual cash incentives on the metrics discussed herein, the Committee
retains discretion in determining actual annual cash incentive awards.

Target not disclosed due to potential competitive harm, but the Committee believes that achievement
of the target goal was challenging and would have required substantial performance.

In keeping with our efforts to reflect stockholder
feedback, the table above incorporates detailed disclosure with either actual results or relative results to target. For competitive
advantage and confidentiality reasons, we do not disclose the target and actual results for our top-rated performance retention
strategy execution KPI. However, when the goal was established it was considered challenging to achieve given the continuing uncertain
economic environment.

For each of Mr. Burnison and Mr. Rozek, the
fiscal 2018 target bonus was initially equal to 100% of base salary and the maximum bonus was initially equal to 200% of base salary.
In connection with Mr. Burnison’s amended and restated employment agreement as described in more detail below, however, his
target bonus was increased to 120% of base salary and his maximum bonus was increased to 240% of base salary. Mr. Mulrooney had
a target of $1,150,000 for his annual cash and long-term incentives, in the aggregate and Mr. Arian had a target of $1,000,000
for his annual cash and long-term incentives, in the aggregate; provided that, Mr. Arian was guaranteed a minimum annual incentive
award of $950,000 for fiscal year 2018 (the “2018 Minimum Incentive”). Mr Arian’s one-time guaranteed annual
incentive award for 2018 was provided in order to attract him to the Company and he does not have any guaranteed annual incentive
award beyond 2018.

For Messrs. Burnison and Rozek, the Committee
awarded annual cash incentive amounts as follows: Mr. Burnison—$2,184,000 and Mr. Rozek—$1,150,000 (which amounts represent
200% of their target bonuses for the year). This amount reflects their performance against the financial metrics and strategy execution
KPI targets established at the beginning of the fiscal year.

The Committee reviewed performance against
the financial performance goals and strategy execution objectives described above in determining a total dollar value for Mr. Mulrooney’s
combined annual cash incentive and long-term equity awards. A portion of this value was provided to Mr. Mulrooney in respect of
fiscal year 2018 as an annual cash incentive ($1,000,000). For 2018, Mr. Arian received the 2018 Minimum Incentive amount.

2018 Proxy Statement

Long-Term Equity Incentives

Long-term equity incentives are intended to align the NEOs’
interests with those of stockholders and encourage the achievement of the long-term goals of the Company. Long-term incentives
are also designed to motivate and help retain top talent. To accomplish these objectives the Committee has discretion to make grants
of options, time-based restricted stock, restricted stock units and/or performance-based awards, as well as contributions to the
Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans (described below) that vest over time.

The Committee determines long-term incentive award amounts based
upon a number of factors including competitive data, total overall compensation provided to each NEO, Company performance during
the fiscal year preceding the year of grant, and historic grants. The various factors are not given specific weights; the Committee
retains discretion to consider items as it deems appropriate.

In fiscal year 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer received annual equity grants comprised of 60% performance restricted stock units (discussed in further detail below) and
40% time-based restricted stock. At the time of grant the Committee determined that the grant date value of their awards fell within
the range of long-term incentives provided by the peer group companies and that this was an appropriate level of equity grant and
equity mix to properly align their interests with the Company’s long-term goals, taking into account individual performance
and market compensation levels.

As described above, Mr. Mulrooney had an aggregate target of $1,150,000
for his target annual cash and long-term incentives. When determining the allocation between cash and long-term equity incentives
with respect to Mr. Mulrooney, the Committee primarily reviewed historical pay practices, internal equity and what it considered
to be an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term pay elements.

Mr. Arian did not commence employment until the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2017, at which time he received a sign-on equity grant in the form of 13,200 time-based restricted stock units that
vest in five equal annual installments beginning on April 3, 2018. As a result, he did not participate in the ordinary annual grant
cycle in fiscal 2018.

Below we discuss equity grants made during fiscal year 2018 to
Messrs. Burnison, Rozek, and Mulrooney, the payout of the performance awards granted in fiscal 2016 for which the three-year performance
period ended in fiscal year 2018, and the equity grants made during fiscal year 2019.

Fiscal Year 2018 Equity Awards

In fiscal year 2018, 60% (based on the number of units/shares
granted at target) of the annual equity awards granted to the NEOs were comprised of performance-based awards tied to three-year
relative TSR (“Relative TSR Units”). As in previous years (excluding fiscal year 2014), the NEOs received a portion
of their equity awards in the form of time-based restricted stock awards.

Performance-Based Equity: Relative TSR Units

Mr. Burnison was awarded Relative TSR Units with a target amount
of 52,540 units, a maximum amount of 105,080 units, and a minimum amount of zero. These Relative TSR Units have a three-year performance
period after which the number of units that vest will depend upon the Company’s TSR over the three-year performance period
relative to the fiscal 2018 peer group of companies listed above. If the Company’s TSR is less than zero, the payouts will
be modified to reduce the payout as a percentage of the target.

Relative TSR Units were also granted to Mr. Rozek, with a target
amount of 25,450 units (maximum of 50,900 units and minimum of zero); and Mr. Mulrooney with a target amount of 17,020 units (maximum
of 34,040 units and minimum of zero).

The table below outlines the potential vesting of the percentages
of the Relative TSR Units granted in fiscal year 2018 resulting from the Company’s TSR over the three-year performance period
relative to the TSR of the fiscal year 2018 peer group.

April 30, 2018 marked the end of the three-year performance cycle
for the performance-based restricted stock units granted to Messrs. Burnison, Rozek, and Mulrooney in fiscal year 2016 (and discussed
in further detail in the Company’s proxy statement for fiscal year 2016). The Company’s relative total stockholder
return over the three-year performance period resulted in the Company ranking 3 out of a 16 company peer group (including the Company,
and provided that The Corporate Executive Board Company was acquired in 2017 and was not factored into the calculation for fiscal
years 2017 and 2018). This third place ranking translates into 189% of the award (i.e. 66,640, 29,160, and 20,830 shares, respectively)
vesting.

Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentive Equity
Awards

At the beginning of fiscal year 2019 and as will be described
in more detail in the proxy statement for fiscal year 2019, the Company granted regular cycle long-term incentive grants in the
form of time-based restricted stock and Relative TSR Units to the named executive officers. Similar to the regular cycle long-term
incentive awards granted in fiscal year 2018, the Company granted 60% in Relative TSR Units (based on the number of units/shares
granted) and 40% in time-based restricted stock. For the fiscal year 2019 regular cycle grants, each of the NEOs received the following:

In recognition of the exceptional Company performance in fiscal
year 2018, including record fee revenue of $1.767 billion, a 65% stock price increase, and $56 million in dividends and share repurchases,
the Committee made special one-time performance awards to certain senior executives, including the NEOs. As part of its review,
the Committee considered the Company’s results compared to both historical performance as well as financial and shareholder
return performance relative to peers. The Committee consulted with Pearl Meyer and, given the highly competitive environment in
which the Company operates, determined that it was appropriate to provide half of the awards in the form of cash bonuses and half
of the awards in the form of time-vested restricted stock as a retention tool. The NEOs received the following cash bonuses and
restricted stock awards:

The equity awards will vest in three equal annual installments
beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. While these equity awards were granted in recognition of 2018 performance,
they were not made until fiscal 2019 and so will not be reflected in the compensation tables until next year.

The Company provides NEOs the same benefits that are provided
to all employees, including medical, dental and vision benefits, group term life insurance, participation in the Company’s
401(k) plan, and eligibility for tuition reimbursement. In addition, the NEOs receive the same benefits provided to all employees
at the level of vice president and above, including an automobile allowance and participation in the Company’s nonqualified
deferred compensation plan (described below).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan,
known as the Korn/Ferry International Executive Capital Accumulation Plan (“ECAP”). Pursuant to the ECAP, the NEOs,
along with all other U.S.-based vice presidents, may defer up to 80% of their salary and/or up to 100% of their annual cash incentive
award into the ECAP. Participants in the ECAP make elections on how they would like their deemed account “invested”
from a set line up of 15 pre-determined mutual funds. At its discretion, the Company may make contributions to the ECAP on behalf
of a participant. All Company matching and performance contributions to the ECAP are approved by the Committee. During fiscal year
2018, no Company contributions were made to the ECAP on behalf of the NEOs. Participants in the ECAP may elect to receive distributions
(in lump sum) while employed by the Company (and after such amounts have become vested) or upon termination of their employment
with the Company.

Long-Term Performance Unit Plan

In fiscal year 2017, the Committee approved the Korn/Ferry International
Long Term Performance Unit Plan (the “LTPU Plan”). The NEOs are eligible to participate in the LTPU Plan; currently
Mr. Mulrooney and Mr. Arian are the only NEOs who participate and each received awards under the LTPU Plan in fiscal 2017. The
purpose of the LTPU Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing a select group of management and highly-compensated
employees with nonqualified supplemental retirement benefits as an additional means to attract, motivate, and retain such employees.
Pursuant to the LTPU Plan, the Committee may grant cash-based unit awards (the “Unit Awards”). No Unit Awards were
granted to the NEOs in fiscal year 2018. Unless a participant dies or becomes disabled, or makes an election in accordance with
the LTPU Plan, each vested Unit Award will pay out an annual benefit of $25,000 (subject to a potential performance adjustment)
for each of five years commencing on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Subject to the terms of the LTPU Plan, participants
may elect to have their annual benefits start on a later date and/or pay out in a lower annual amount over a greater number of
years. The Unit Awards granted to Messrs. Mulrooney and Arian vest upon the following circumstances: (i) the fourth anniversary
of the grant date, subject to continued service as of such date; (ii) the later of the grantee’s 65th birthday
and the second anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued services as of each such date; (iii) death or disability, or
(iv) a change of control event (as defined in the LTPU Plan).

Employment Agreements and CEO Retention Award

Each of the Company’s NEOs is covered by an employment contract
or letter agreement that provides for a minimum annual level of salary, target incentives, eligibility for long-term incentives
and benefit eligibility. The agreements also provide for a severance benefit in the event of a termination of employment without
“cause” or for “good reason,” as such terms are defined in the agreements. It is the Committee’s
belief that such agreements are necessary from a competitive perspective and also contribute to the stability of the management
team.

On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated
employment agreement with Mr. Burnison. Based on a competitive review conducted by Pearl Meyer, the Committee’s independent
advisor, Mr. Burnison’s base salary was not changed but his target annual cash incentive opportunity was increased to 120%
of base salary up to a maximum of 240% of base salary. Mr. Burnison’s amended and restated employment agreement also
provides for a retention award in the amount of $5 million that will be paid in equal monthly installments in cash (without interest)
over twelve months following Mr. Burnison’s termination of employment for any reason (other than a termination by the Company
for “cause”, as defined in the agreement) on or after March 30, 2022 (the “Retention Vesting Date”), subject
to his execution and delivery of a general release of claims and compliance with restrictive covenants relating to confidentiality,
nonsolicitation, and noncompetition. In recognition of the retention award, termination by the Company without “cause”
or by Mr. Burnison for “good reason” on or after the Retention Vesting Date will not result in cash severance benefits
(other than reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums). However, in the event of such a termination, Mr. Burnison would receive
a prorated annual cash incentive for the year of termination based on actual performance for the year (or based on target if such
termination is within 12 months after a “change in control” (as defined in the agreement)) and certain benefits related
to continued and/or accelerated equity vesting. Additional changes described below under “Employment Agreements” and
“Potential

Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” were made
in the amended and restated employment agreement. The Board believes the retention award and other changes to Mr. Burnison’s
employment agreement, which serve to promote the continued employment of our CEO, are in the best interests of shareholders. During
the past several years, under Mr. Burnison’s stewardship, the Company has achieved record fee revenue each year, experienced
share appreciation (including 65% over the past fiscal year), delivered relative total shareholder return in excess of the S&P
500 and our peer group, and returned over $100 million to stockholders in the form of share repurchases and quarterly dividends.
The Company also completed the transformational acquisition of the legacy Hay Group and is continuing with the related integration
process.

Please refer to the sections entitled “Employment Agreements”
and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below for further discussion of these agreements.

OTHER POLICIES

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s amended and restated stock ownership guidelines
provide that all NEOs are required to own three times their annual base salary in Company common stock. In addition, such guidelines
require non-employee directors to hold three times their annual cash retainer in Company common stock. Stock ownership includes
direct stock ownership but does not include unvested stock awards. Pursuant to the stock ownership guidelines, the stock ownership
level will be calculated annually on the day of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders based on the prior thirty-day
average closing stock price as reported by the NYSE. Until the stock ownership level is met, each executive officer and non-employee
director must retain at least 75% of the net shares received upon vesting of restricted stock awards and 50% of the net shares
received upon exercise of stock options. When an executive officer’s stock ownership requirement increases as a result of
an increase in the officer’s annual salary, the officer will become subject to such higher stock ownership level over a five-year
proportional phase-in period.

Clawback Policy

Pursuant to the Company’s clawback policy, in the event
that the Board determines there has been an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement
under the securities laws, the Board will review all applicable incentive payments and if such payments would have been lower had
they been calculated based on such restated results, the Board may, to the extent permitted by governing law, seek to recoup for
the benefit of the Company such payments to and/or equity awards held by executive officers or the principal accounting officer
who are found personally responsible for the material restatement, as determined by the Board.

Policies Prohibiting Hedging, Speculative Trading and Pledging

The Company has adopted policies prohibiting officers, directors,
and employees from engaging in speculative transactions (such as puts, calls, short sales) or in any type of hedging transaction
(such as zero cost collars and forward sale contracts) in Company securities. Further, directors and officers are expressly prohibited
from margining Company securities or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

As one of the factors in the review of compensation matters, the
Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to the Company. The deductibility of some types of compensation for NEOs depends
upon the timing of a named executive officer’s vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Prior to the US Tax Act
which became effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2019, compensation that satisfied conditions set forth under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to qualify as “performance-based compensation” was not subject to a $1
million limit on deductibility, and the limit did not apply to compensation paid to the Chief Financial Officer. The US Tax Act
eliminates the performance-based compensation exception and applies the limit to the Chief Financial Officer and certain former
executive officers. However, it provides a transition rule with respect to remuneration which is provided pursuant to a written
binding contract which was in effect on November 2, 2017 and which was not materially modified after that date. With the elimination
of the exemption for performance-based compensation, we expect that we will be unable to deduct all compensation in excess of $1
million paid to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our other named executive officers covered by the new
tax law, other than previously granted awards that comply with the transition rules. We monitor the application of Section 162(m)
and the associated Treasury regulations on an ongoing basis and the advisability of qualifying executive compensation for deductibility.
Notwithstanding the repeal of the exemption for “performance-based compensation,” the Committee intends to maintain
its commitment to structuring the Company’s executive compensation programs in a manner designed to align pay with performance.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee
has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (the “CD&A”) for the fiscal year ended April
30, 2018 with management. In reliance on the reviews and discussions with management relating to the CD&A, the Compensation
and Personnel Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement.

During fiscal 2018, at all times, all members of the Compensation
and Personnel Committee were “independent”; none were employees or former employees of the Company and none had any
relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers served on the
compensation committee or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer(s) served on our Compensation and Personnel
Committee or Board.

Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of awards
granted during the fiscal year, calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
Certain assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards are set forth in Note 4 to the notes to consolidated financial
statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. For the 2018 grants, the value of the
maximum number of shares that could be earned as Relative TSR Units granted to each named executive officer is as follows:
Mr. Burnison, $4,626,672, Mr. Rozek, $2,241,127, and Mr. Mulrooney, $1,498,781. For the Relative TSR Units, the grant date
fair value is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The simulation model applies a risk-free interest rate
and an expected volatility assumption. The risk-free rate is assumed to equal the yield on a three-year Treasury bond on the
grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility for the 36-month period preceding the grant date. For Mr. Burnison,
Mr. Rozek, and Mr. Mulrooney, the assumed per-share value of Relative TSR Units for the July 12, 2017 annual grant was $44.03,
for the July 8, 2016 annual grant was $12.24, and for the July 8, 2015 annual grant was $39.35.

The values in the table represent, for each applicable fiscal year, the aggregate change
in the actuarial present value of Mr. Burnison’s accumulated benefit under the Enhanced Wealth Accumulation Plan (the
“EWAP”) from the pension plan measurement date used for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to
the Company’s audited financial statements for the prior completed fiscal year to the pension plan measurement date
used for financial reporting purposes with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the covered fiscal
year. As discussed under “Fiscal 2018 Pension Benefits,” participants in the EWAP elected to participate in a
“deferral unit” that required the participant to contribute a portion of their compensation for an eight-year
period, or in some cases, make an after-tax contribution, in return for defined benefit payments from the Company over a fifteen-year
period generally at retirement age of 65 or later. Mr. Burnison is the only named executive officer that participates in the
EWAP. To date, Mr. Burnison has contributed $55,200 to the EWAP. In June 2003, the Company amended the EWAP plan, so as not
to allow new participants or the purchase of additional deferral units by existing participants.

Represents an auto allowance of $5,400, executive long-term disability insurance premium and/or imputed income of $960, executive short-term life insurance premium and/ or imputed income of $5,492, 401(k) employer matching contribution of $3,600, dividends on unvested restricted stock of $5,455 and 1 year of vesting on Mr. Mulrooney’s fiscal year 2017 LTPU award of $218,750.

(9)

Mr. Arian has a target of $1,000,000 for his annual cash and long-term incentives, in aggregate; provided that for fiscal year 2018 only, Mr. Arian was guaranteed a minimum annual incentive award equal to $950,000, which was paid in advance in equal semi-monthly payments during fiscal year 2018. In addition, Mr. Arian received a one-time $250,000 special cash bonus awarded in recognition of the exceptional performance of the Company during fiscal year 2018.

Mr. Arian’s base annual salary is $450,000. Mr. Arian joined the Company on April 3, 2017.

FISCAL YEAR 2018 GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

The following table sets forth information with respect to non-equity
incentive plan compensation and equity awards granted in fiscal 2018 to the named executive officers, in the case of equity awards,
under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, Mr. Burnison had an annual target

the target was increased to 120% of base salary.

(3)

Mr. Rozek has an annual target incentive award equal to 100% of his
base salary.

Certain elements of compensation set forth in the “Summary

FISCAL YEAR 2018 PENSION BENEFITS

The following table sets forth the pension benefits of the named
executive officers as of April 30, 2018.

The EWAP was established in fiscal 1994.
Certain vice presidents elected to participate in a “deferral unit” that required the participant to contribute a portion
of their compensation for an eight year period, or in some cases, make an after-tax contribution, in return for defined benefit
payments from the Company over a fifteen year period generally at retirement age of 65 or later. Participants were able to acquire
additional “deferral units” every five years.

In June 2003, the Company amended the EWAP
so as not to allow new participants or the purchase of additional deferral units by existing participants. The assumptions used
to calculate the present value of the accumulated benefit under the EWAP are set forth in Note 6 to the notes to consolidated financial
statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018.

FISCAL YEAR 2018 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The “Aggregate Balance at Last FYE” is
comprised of contributions made by both Mr. Burnison and the Company of which $209,000 was reported as contributions in Summary
Compensation Tables in prior-year proxy statements beginning with the fiscal 2007 proxy statement. The information in this
footnote is provided to clarify the extent to which amounts payable as deferred compensation represent compensation reported
in our prior proxy statements, rather than additional currently earned compensation.

On July 8, 2016, the Company established the LTPU Plan in order
to promote the success of the Company by providing a select group of management and highly compensated employees with nonqualified
supplemental retirement benefits as an additional means to attract, motivate, and retain such employee. A unit award has a
base value of $50,000 for the purpose of determining the payment that would be made upon early termination for a partially
vested unit award. The units vest 25% on each anniversary date, with the unit becoming fully vested on the fourth anniversary
of the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued service as of each anniversary date. Each vested unit award
will pay out an annual benefit of $25,000 for each of five years commencing on the seventh anniversary of the grant date.
On July 9, 2016, Mr. Mulrooney received seven units and on April 3, 2017, Mr. Arian received eight units, and the value shown
in the table represents the maximum benefit pursuant to such units. In fiscal year 2018, Mr. Mulrooney’s award vested
25% and the value of $218,750 was reported in the Summary Compensation Table. The remaining value of such units will be reported
in the Summary Compensation Table in future years upon the vesting thereof.

Please see the “Other Compensation Elements” section
beginning on page 36 for further discussion of the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

The tables below reflect the amount of compensation
that would become payable to each of the named executive officers under existing plans and arrangements if that named executive
officer’s employment had terminated on April 30, 2018 (pursuant to his employment agreement then in effect), given the named
executive officer’s compensation and service levels as of such date and, if applicable, based on the Company’s closing
stock price on that date. These benefits are in addition to benefits available prior to the occurrence of any termination of employment,
including benefits generally available to salaried employees, such as distributions under the Company’s 401(k) plan and EWAP,
and previously accrued and vested benefits under the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan, as described in the
tables above. In addition, in connection with any actual termination of employment, the Company may determine to enter into an
agreement or to establish an arrangement providing additional benefits or amounts, or altering the terms of benefits described
below, as the Committee determines appropriate. The actual amounts that would be paid upon a named executive officer’s termination
of employment can be determined only at

the time of such named executive officer’s
separation from the Company. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events
discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be higher or lower than reported below. Factors that could affect these
amounts include the timing during the year of any such event, the Company’s stock price and the named executive officer’s
age. References to “performance shares” mean any outstanding Relative TSR Units or Synergy RSUs.

Gary D.
Burnison. Under the Amended Burnison Agreement, if Mr. Burnison’s employment terminated due to death or disability,
then he, or his legal representatives, would receive: (1) all accrued compensation as of the date of termination; (2) full vesting
of all outstanding stock options, other equity-type incentives (excluding performance shares) and benefits under the ECAP; (3) a
pro rata portion of his target annual cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which his employment terminated; (4) the number
of performance shares that would have been earned if he had served the Company for the entire performance period and the target
performance had been achieved (provided, however, that with respect to Mr. Burnison’s Synergy RSUs, he would receive the
number of shares actually earned in the performance period and interim measurement period based on Company performance over the
entire performance period and interim measurement period); and (5) reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for Mr. Burnison and
his dependents for as long as such coverage was available under COBRA. In addition, any unvested amount of the Retention Award
would vest.

If we terminated Mr. Burnison’s employment
for cause or he voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason, then we would pay him accrued compensation through the
date of termination.

Under the Amended Burnison Agreement, prior
to a change in control or more than 12 months after a change in control (and in any event prior to the Retention Vesting Date),
if Mr. Burnison’s employment was terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Burnison for good reason (an “Involuntary
Termination”), then we would provide him with the following: (1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro rata portion of his
annual cash incentive award, based on actual Company performance, for the year in which his employment terminated; (3) cash payments
equal to the greater of (i) the sum of one and one-half times his then current annual base salary and one and one-half times his
target bonus, or (ii) the prorated amount of the Retention Award based on days worked during the four year vesting period; (4)
for up to 18 months after termination, reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for him and his dependents for as long as such
coverage was available under COBRA; (5) vesting on the date of termination of all outstanding stock options, other equity-type
incentives, other long term awards and all benefits held under the ECAP (excluding performance shares) (collectively, the “Time
Vested Awards”) that would have vested within 12 months of his termination; and (6) for performance shares, a pro rata award
of performance shares based on actual performance through the entire performance period and the number of days Mr. Burnison
was employed during the performance period (and the subsequent time-based vesting period, in the case of the Synergy RSUs) plus
an additional year (provided this number of days does not exceed the number of days in the performance period). However, if such
Involuntary Termination were to occur on or after the second anniversary and before the third anniversary of March 30, 2018, Mr.
Burnison would instead receive two years of additional vesting for Time Vested Awards and pro rata plus two years (but not more
than the entire performance period) vesting on future performance shares (based on actual performance for the entire performance
period). For Involuntary Terminations on or after the third anniversary of March 30, 2018, Mr. Burnison would continue to vest
in accordance with the terms of the Time Vested Awards and future performance awards, disregarding such termination. In addition,
upon any termination occuring on or after the Retention Vesting Date (other than by the Company for cause or due to death or disability),
all unvested equity awards granted on or after March 30, 2018 (and at least 90 days prior to such termination, other than with
respect to an Involuntary Termination during such 90-day period, in which case, there will be no such 90-day requirement) will
continue to vest in accordance with their terms, disregarding such termination. As an exception, the post-change of control double
trigger equity severance vesting rules described below would continue to apply in the event of an Involuntary Termination within
12 months after a change of control.

The Amended Burnison Agreement provides that
if there was a change of control and within 12 months Mr. Burnison’s employment was terminated by us without cause or by
Mr. Burnison for good reason (and in any event prior to the Retention Vesting Date), then we would provide him with the following:
(1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro rata portion of his target annual cash incentive award; (3) cash payments equal to the
greater of (i) the sum of two times his current annual base salary and two times his target bonus, or (ii) the Retention Award;
(4) for up to 18 months after termination, reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for him and his dependents for so long as such
coverage is available under COBRA and for six months thereafter, reimbursement of a portion of the cost of healthcare coverage
for him and his dependents; (5) vesting on the date of termination of all outstanding Time Vested Awards; (6) a pro rata award
of performance shares (other than Synergy RSUs) based on the greater of the Company’s actual performance and target performance
and the number of days in the performance period prior to the change in control; (7) a pro rata award of performance shares (other
than Synergy RSUs) based on target performance and the number of days remaining in the performance period after a change in control;
and (8) for Synergy RSUs, a pro rata award based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Burnison was employed during
the performance period and subsequent time-based vesting period plus an additional year (provided the number of days does not exceed
the number of days in the performance period).

Under the Amended Burnison Agreement, the severance benefits described
above are conditioned on Mr. Burnison’s execution and delivery of a general release and compliance with covenants relating
to confidentiality, nonsolicitation, and noncompetition.

For the calculations above, if performance shares would
vest based on actual Company performance, to the extent the applicable vesting period was still ongoing as of the end of fiscal
2018, it was assumed that the Company achieved target performance. With respect to Mr. Burnison’s grants of performance
shares for which the measurement period ended on April 30, 2018 (and vested on July 8, 2018), actual results were used in
the calculations. With respect to Mr. Burnison’s grant of performance shares for which the measurement period ended
on April 30, 2018, the measurement period was assumed to have concluded prior to his termination for purposes of the table.

(2)

Where Mr. Burnison or his dependents are entitled to COBRA for as long as COBRA is available,
we have assumed entitlement to 36 months of COBRA as that is the maximum length of time for which such benefits may be available.

Robert P. Rozek. Under
the Rozek Employment Agreement, if Mr. Rozek’s employment terminates due to death or disability, then he, or his legal representatives,
would receive: (1) all accrued compensation as of the date of termination; (2) full vesting of all outstanding stock options, other
equity-type incentives (excluding performance shares and benefits under the ECAP, if any); (3) a pro rata portion of his target
annual cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which his employment is terminated; (4) the number of performance shares that
would have been earned if he had served the Company for the entire performance period and the target performance had been achieved
(provided, however, that with respect to Mr. Rozek’s Synergy RSUs, he would receive the number of shares actually earned
in the performance period and interim measurement period based on Company performance over the entire performance period and interim
measurement period); and (5) reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for him and his dependents for as long as such coverage is
available under COBRA.

If we terminate Mr. Rozek’s employment for cause or he voluntarily
terminates his employment without good reason, then we will pay him accrued compensation through the date of termination.

In the event that Mr. Rozek’s employment is terminated by
the Company without cause or by Mr. Rozek for good reason prior to a change in control or more than 12 months after a change in
control occurs, the Company will pay Mr. Rozek the following severance payments: (1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro-rata portion
of his annual cash incentive award, based on actual Company performance, for the year in which his employment terminated; (3) a
cash payment equal to one time his then current annual base salary to be paid over 12 months; (4) reimbursement of COBRA
coverage premiums for Mr. Rozek and his covered dependents for up to 18 months; (5) all outstanding equity incentive awards (other
than any performance shares) held by Mr. Rozek and benefits under the Company’s ECAP (if any) at the time of termination
that would have vested in the 12 months following the date of termination will become fully vested as of the date of termination;
and (6) a pro rata award of performance shares based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Rozek was employed during
the performance period (and the subsequent time-based vesting period, in the case of the Synergy RSUs) plus an additional year
(provided this number of days does not exceed the number of days in the performance period).

In the event that Mr. Rozek’s employment is
terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Rozek for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, the
Company will pay Mr. Rozek the following severance payments: (1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro-rata portion of his
target annual cash incentive award; (3) a cash payment equal to the sum of one time his current annual base salary and one
time his target bonus to be paid over 12 months; (4) reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for Mr. Rozek and his covered
dependents for up to 18 months, plus an additional 6 months of health plan premium reimbursement; (5) all outstanding stock
options and other equity type incentives held by Mr. Rozek and benefits under the ECAP (if any) at the time of termination,
except for performance shares, will become fully vested as of the date of termination; (6) a pro-rata number of performance
shares (other than Synergy RSUs) and/or a payout under any long-term performance-based cash incentive program based on actual
performance and the number of days in the performance period prior to the change in control; (7) a pro-rata number of
performance shares (other than Synergy RSUs) and/or a payout under any long-term performance-based cash incentive program
based on target performance and the number of days remaining in the performance period after the change in control; and (8)
for Synergy RSUs, a pro rata award based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Rozek was employed during the
performance period and subsequent time-based vesting period plus an additional year (provided the number of days does not
exceed the number of days in the performance period).

In the event Mr. Rozek’s employment is terminated by the
Company without cause upon the expiration of any one-year term of the Rozek Employment Agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Rozek
his accrued compensation and, subject to Mr. Rozek’s provision of transition services to the Company for a period of
three months (during which time Mr. Rozek would be entitled to continued pay at his then current annual base salary rate and participation
in the Company’s welfare benefit plans, but no additional bonus or equity compensation), (1) a cash payment equal to one
time his then current annual base salary to be paid in equal monthly installments over 12 months, (2) reimbursement of COBRA coverage
premiums for Mr. Rozek and his covered dependents for up to 18 months following termination, (3) the equity awards initially granted
to Mr. Rozek in connection with his employment agreement will become fully vested (assuming the target performance), (4) all outstanding
equity incentive awards (other than the equity awards initially granted to Mr. Rozek in connection with his employment agreement
and any other performance shares) held by Mr. Rozek and benefits under the ECAP (if any) at the time of termination that would
have vested in the 12 months following the date of termination will become fully vested as of the date of termination, and (5)
a pro rata award of performance shares based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Rozek was employed during the performance
period plus an additional year (provided this number of days does not exceed the number of days in the performance period).

The severance benefits described above are conditioned on Mr.
Rozek’s execution and delivery of a general release and compliance with covenants relating to confidentiality, non-solicitation
and non-competition.

Byrne Mulrooney. Under
the Mulrooney Letter Agreement, in the event that Mr. Mulrooney’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason
other than cause or due to Mr. Mulrooney’s death or disability or by Mr. Mulrooney for good reason, and such termination
occurs prior to or more than 12 months following the occurrence of a change in control, the Company will pay Mr. Mulrooney the
following severance payments subject to his execution and delivery of a general release and compliance with the restrictive covenants
set forth in the agreement: (1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro-rata portion of his annual cash incentive award, based on actual
company performance, for the year in which his employment terminated; (3) a cash payment equal to one time his then current annual
base salary to be paid in equal monthly installments over 12 months; (4) reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums for Mr. Mulrooney
and his covered dependents for up to 18 months following termination; (5) all outstanding equity incentive awards (other than any
performance shares) held by Mr. Mulrooney and benefits under the Company’s ECAP (if any) at the time of termination that
would have vested in the 12 months following the date of termination will become fully vested as of the date of termination; and
(6) a pro rata award of performance shares based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Mulrooney was employed during
the performance period plus an additional year (provided this number of days does not exceed the number of days in the performance
period).

In the event that Mr. Mulrooney’s employment is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or due to Mr. Mulrooney’s death or disability or by Mr.
Mulrooney for good reason and such termination occurs within 12 months following the occurrence of a change in control, then
Mr. Mulrooney will be entitled to receive the same severance benefits as described above (subject to the execution and
delivery of a general release and compliance with the restrictive covenants in the agreement) except that the cash payment
described in (3) above will equal one time Mr. Mulrooney’s then current annual base salary plus his then current target
annual incentive award and Mr. Mulrooney will be entitled to full vesting of his outstanding equity awards and benefits under
the ECAP (if any); provided, however, that with respect to performance shares, such vesting will be based on actual
performance through the date of the change in control.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the LTPU Plan and Mr. Mulrooney’s
LTPU award, his unvested LTPU award would become vested upon the occurrence of his death or disability or in the event of a change
in control and, in the case of death or disability, payout of the award, which generally commences in the calendar year including
the seventh anniversary of the grant date and occurs in equal annual installments over five years thereafter (unless elected otherwise),
would commence on the 60th day following a termination due to death or during the year of disability. Each unit awarded
under the LTPU Plan has a total value of $125,000 and a base value of $50,000, which is relevant

for purposes of determining the value of payout of a partially-vested
LTPU award. Mr. Mulrooney was awarded seven units under the LTPU Plan and thus the total value of his vested award is $875,000
and the total base value of his award is $350,000. If Mr. Mulrooney terminates employment prior to his death or disability and
not for cause, he is entitled to a lump sum payment of a portion of the base value of his award based on the years of service completed
since the grant date to the extent that the termination occurs at least 13 months following the grant date. Because Mr. Mulrooney’s
LTPU award was made on July 8, 2016, such a termination occurring on April 30, 2018 would entitle him to 25% of the base value
of his award.

For the calculations above, if performance shares would
vest based on actual Company performance, to the extent the applicable vesting period was still ongoing as of the end of fiscal
2018, it was assumed that the Company achieved target performance. With respect to Mr. Mulrooney’s grants of performance
shares for which the measurement period ended on April 30, 2018 (and vested on July 8, 2018), actual results were used in
the calculations. With respect to Mr. Mulrooney’s grant of performance shares for which the measurement period ended
on April 30, 2018, the measurement period was assumed to have concluded prior to his termination for purposes of the table.

(2)

The vesting of Mr. Mulrooney’s LTPU award would accelerate on a change of control
or a termination due to death or disability and, in the case of death or disability, payout of the award, which generally
commences in the calendar year including the seventh anniversary of the grant date and occurs in equal annual installments
over five years thereafter (unless elected otherwise) would commence on the 60th day following a termination due
to death or on the one-year anniversary of a termination due to disability but would still occur in equal annual installments
in accordance with the terms of the LTPU plan.

Mark Arian. Under
the Arian Letter Agreement, in the event that Mr. Arian’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than cause (and not due to Mr. Arian’s death or disability) or by Mr. Arian for good reason, and such termination
occurs prior to or more than 12 months following the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. Arian will become entitled to the
following payments and benefits subject to his execution and delivery of a general release and compliance with the
restrictive covenants set forth in the agreement: (1) his accrued compensation; (2) a pro-rata portion of his annual cash
incentive award, based on actual company performance, for the year in which his employment terminated; (3) a cash payment
equal to one time his then current annual base salary to be paid in equal monthly installments over 12 months; (4) any
portion of the 2018 Minimum Incentive that has not already been paid as of the date of termination; (5) reimbursement of
COBRA coverage premiums for Mr. Arian and his covered dependents for up to 18 months following termination; (6) full vesting
of the Sign On Equity Award to the extent then outstanding and unvested; (7) all outstanding equity incentive awards (other
than the Sign On Equity Award and any performance shares) held by Mr. Arian and benefits under the Company’s ECAP (if
any) at the time of termination that would have vested in the 12 months following the date of termination will become fully
vested as of the date of termination; (8) outstanding LTPU awards will be treated in accordance with the LTPU Plan (as
described in more detail below); and (9) a pro rata award of performance shares and/or long-term performance-based cash
incentives based on actual performance and the number of days Mr. Arian was employed during the performance period plus an
additional year (provided this number of days does not exceed the number of days in the performance period).

In addition, in the event that Mr. Arian’s employment is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause (and not due to death or disability) or by Mr. Arian for good reason
and such termination occurs within 12 months following the occurrence of a change in control, then Mr. Arian will be entitled to
receive the same severance benefits as described in (3) through (9) above (subject to the execution and delivery of a general release
and compliance with the restrictive covenants in the agreement) except that the cash payment described in (3) above will equal
one time Mr. Arian’s then current annual base salary plus his then current target annual incentive award and Mr. Arian will
be entitled to full vesting of his outstanding equity awards and benefits under the ECAP (if any); provided, however, that with
respect to performance shares, such vesting will be based on actual performance through the date of the change in control.

Pursuant to the terms of the LTPU Plan and Mr. Arian’s LTPU
award, his unvested LTPU award would become vested upon the occurrence of his death or disability or in the event of a change in
control and payout of the award, which generally commences in the calendar year including the seventh anniversary of the grant
date and occurs in equal annual installments over five years thereafter (unless elected otherwise), would commence on the 60th
day following a termination due to death or during the year of disability. Each unit awarded under the LTPU Plan has a total
value of $125,000 and a base value of $50,000. Mr. Arian was awarded eight units under the LTPU Plan and thus the total value of
his vested award is $1,000,000 and the total base value of his award is $400,000. If Mr. Arian terminates employment prior to his
death or disability and not for cause, he is entitled to a lump sum payment of a portion of the base value of his award based on
the years of service completed since the grant date to the extent that the termination occurs at least 13 months following the
grant date. Because Mr. Arian’s LTPU award was made in April 2017, however, he would have forfeited the award in the event
of such a termination occurring on the last day of fiscal year 2018.

The vesting of Mr. Arian’s LTPU award would accelerate on a
change of control or a termination due to death or disability and, in the case of death or disability, payout of the award,
which generally commences in the calendar year including the seventh anniversary of the grant date and occurs in equal annual

due to death or on the one-year anniversary of a termination due to disability but would still occur in equal annual installments
in accordance with the terms of the LTPU plan.

PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

The 2018 annual total compensation of the median compensated of all
our employees who were employed as of April 30, 2018, other than our CEO Gary Burnison, was $67,839; Mr. Burnison’s 2018 annual
total compensation was $8,643,293, and the ratio of these amounts was 1-to-127.

The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee
and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies,
to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation
practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other
companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates,
and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in
a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. For these purposes,
we identified the median compensated employee using cash compensation paid in fiscal 2018, which we annualized for any employee
who did not work for the entire year unless designated as a temporary, seasonal, or other non-permanent employee on our records.
As permitted by SEC rules, we used a valid statistical sampling methodology applied to all our employees who were employed as of
April 30, 2018, to identify the global median employee.

The compensation of directors, including all restricted stock unit
awards, for fiscal 2018 is set forth in the table below.

fee of $75,000.

Directors who are also employees or officers do not receive any additional
compensation for their service on the Board. The Committee, in consultation with Pearl Meyer, its independent compensation consultant,
periodically reviews non-employee director compensation and recommends changes based on competitive market data. Most recently,
increases in director compensation that became effective for fiscal year 2018 were implemented in order to better align director
compensation with that of our peer group.

The non-employee director compensation
program provides for an annual equity award of restricted stock units with a value of approximately $120,000 to be awarded on
the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. The number of units subject to such award is determined by dividing $120,000
by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of such annual meeting of stockholders (rounded to the
nearest ten units). Non-employee directors are permitted to defer settlement of their restricted stock units; during fiscal
year 2018, Messrs. Shaheen, Floyd, and Beneby elected to defer their restricted stock units. The restricted stock unit awards
vest on the day before the following annual meeting of stockholders. Additionally, non-employee directors receive each year,
commencing in fiscal year 2018, $75,000 (increased from $65,000 in fiscal year 2017) either in cash or in restricted stock
units, at their election, on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, each member of the Audit Committee
receives $5,000 in cash annually, the Audit Committee Chair receives $20,000 (increased from $15,000 in fiscal year 2017) in
cash annually, the Compensation and Personnel Committee Chair receives $20,000 (increased from $15,000 in fiscal year 2017)
in cash annually, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair receives $10,000 in cash annually. The Chair of
the Board receives $120,000 in cash annually. All directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with their duties as directors. As noted above, the increases in director compensation that became effective for
fiscal year 2018 were implemented in order to better align director compensation with that of our peer group.

The Company’s stock ownership guidelines for directors require
each non-employee director to own three times their annual cash retainer in Company stock.

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP
AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has approved the appointment
of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019. Ernst &
Young LLP has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since March 2002. Ernst & Young
LLP has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee to discuss audit findings and other financial matters. Neither the Company’s
Restated Certificate of Incorporation nor its Bylaws requires that the stockholders ratify the selection of Ernst & Young
LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, we are requesting ratification because we believe
it is a matter of good corporate practice.

If the Company’s stockholders do
not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Ernst & Young LLP, but may, nonetheless,
retain Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection
is ratified, the Audit Committee in their discretion may change the appointment at any time if they determine that such change
would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP will attend
the Annual Meeting to answer appropriate questions and may also make a statement if they so desire.

REQUIRED VOTE

Ratification of the appointment of Ernst &
Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
those shares present, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD The
Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019.

The following table summarizes the fees
Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, billed to us for each of the last two fiscal years.
All services provided by Ernst & Young LLP were approved by the Audit Committee in conformity with the Audit Committee’s
pre-approval process (as discussed below).

Represents fees in FY 2017 for the employee benefit
plan and S-8 Filing, and in FY 2018 for the employee benefit plan audit.

(3)

Represents fees for tax compliance, planning,
and advice. These services included tax return compliance and advice.

Fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP
in FY 18 were higher than in FY 17 primarily due to revenue recognition implementation work, preparation of global transfer pricing
documentation and expansion of the overall global tax compliance engagement.

RECOMMENDATION TO APPOINT ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

As with previous years, the Audit Committee
undertook a review of Ernst & Young LLP in determining whether to select Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019 and to recommend ratification of its selection to the Company’s
stockholders. In that review, the Audit Committee utilized a tailored external auditor assessment questionnaire and considered
a number of factors including:

•

continued independence of Ernst & Young LLP,

•

length of time Ernst & Young LLP has been engaged by the Company,

•

Senior Management’s assessment of Ernst & Young LLP’s
performance,

•

audit and non-audit fees,

•

capacity to appropriately staff the audit,

•

geographic and subject matter coverage,

•

lead Audit Engagement Partner performance,

•

overall performance,

•

qualifications and quality control procedures, and

•

whether retaining Ernst & Young LLP is in the best interests
of the Company.

Based upon this review, the Audit Committee
believes that Ernst & Young LLP is independent and that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders
to retain Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019.

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
and the related SEC rules, the Audit Committee limits the number of consecutive years an individual partner may serve as the lead
audit engagement partner to the Company. The maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The
current lead audit engagement partner is in his 3rd year in that role.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for
the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. Further,
the Audit Committee is afforded the funding and resources it determines appropriate for compensating the independent registered
public accounting firm and any advisers it may employ. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve
the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to help assure that they
do not impair the registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company. Services provided by the independent
registered public accounting firm must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case by case basis, unless such services fall within
a detailed list of services as documented in the Company’s pre-approval policy whereby the Audit Committee has provided pre-approval
for specific types of audit, audit-related and tax compliance services within certain fee limitations. The Audit Committee believes
the combination of these two approaches results in an effective and efficient procedure to manage the approval of services performed
by the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent registered
public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity
with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the service
might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered
as a whole, and no one factor is determinative.

All requests or applications for Ernst &
Young LLP services are submitted to the Senior Vice President Finance and Corporate Controller and include a detailed description
of services to be rendered. The detailed descriptions are then reviewed against a list of approved services and are provided to
the Audit Committee for review and approval. All requests or applications for Ernst & Young LLP services receive approval
from the Senior Vice President Finance and Corporate Controller, prior to the Audit Committee’s review and approval.

Governance Insights: OVERSIGHT
OF CYBERSECURITY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW EU DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS

Q & A WITH DEBRA
PERRY, CHAIR OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Question: What
is your perspective on cybersecurity and the Company’s approach to such risks?

Cybersecurity is one of the most
serious issues that companies face today. Korn Ferry must maintain its focus on protecting its information assets and
continually improve its information security practices to stay ahead of the growing number of information security threats.
The Company addresses cybersecurity at each level of the organization from human error to advanced external threats. In
addition to the full Board, the Audit Committee is specifically tasked with overseeing digital risk management. It receives
regular updates from the Chief Information Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, the Chief
Audit Executive, and General Counsel about risks and the Company’s initiatives to protect its information assets. The
Company also has a cross-functional executive leadership group that drives security policy changes and fosters a culture of
data protection. In addition, the Company has a team of personnel who are part of the Company’s global security
organization and are dedicated to protecting the Company from current and evolving threats.

The Company utilizes an array of physical
and technical security measures to protect the Company’s information assets. The global security organization works in
conjunction with the Company’s privacy team developing and deploying privacy and security trainings, planning and
launching security awareness campaigns, and conducting internal assessments. The Company has engaged world-class security
firms and other experts to independently assess and help improve our privacy and security posture. Korn Ferry has made
significant investments in infrastructure enhancements and advanced security tools to help secure personal data as well as
the Company’s intellectual property.

Question: How did
the Company respond to the passage of the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

GDPR is a significant change for global
data privacy law and introduces complex rules for organizations involved in the collection and processing of personal data of
individuals located in the EU. As a global organizational consulting firm, Korn Ferry takes its responsibility to protect
personal data very seriously. This includes updating our data collection, use, transfer, disclosure, and disposal policies
and procedures. The Company also recognizes that personal data is only as secure as the tools and technologies that manage
it. As noted above, the Company takes appropriate measures and precautions to protect and secure personal data that it
processes. The Company has created a dedicated webpage to specifically address the GDPR. To learn more about the
Company’s detailed response to GDPR please visit www.kornferry.com/gdpr.

The Audit Committee is comprised of four non-employee
directors, all of whom are “independent” under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules
of the SEC. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, as amended and restated, which has been adopted by the Board.
A copy of the current Audit Committee Charter is available from the Company’s website, go to www.kornferry.com, select
“Investor Relations” from the drop-down menu, then click on the “Corporate Governance” link located in
a list on the right side of the page.

Management of the Company is responsible for
the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the consolidated financial statements, maintaining a system of internal controls
and having appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies. The independent registered public accounting
firm is responsible for planning and carrying out an audit of the consolidated financial statements and an audit of internal control
over financial reporting in accordance with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and expressing
an opinion as to the consolidated financial statements’ conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
and as to internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee monitors and oversees these processes and is responsible
for selecting and overseeing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

As part of the oversight process, the Audit Committee
met eight times during fiscal 2018. Throughout the year, the Audit Committee met with the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm, management and internal auditor, both together and separately in closed sessions. In the course of fulfilling
its responsibilities, the Audit Committee did, among other things, the following:

•

reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2018 and the quarters ended July 31, 2017, October 31, 2017,
and January 31, 2018;

•

oversaw and discussed with management the Company’s review of internal control over financial reporting;

•

reviewed management’s representations that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with GAAP and present fairly the results of operations and financial position of the Company;

•

discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be communicated to audit committees
under applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

•

received the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable
requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s
communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting
firm its independence;

•

reviewed and evaluated the performance and quality of the independent registered public accounting firm and its lead audit
partner in its determination to recommend the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm, including by
assessing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm from within the Audit Committee and from the
perspective of senior management and the internal auditor;

•

considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the registered public accounting firm to the Company is compatible
with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence;

•

monitored the Alertline reporting system implemented to provide an anonymous complaint reporting procedure;

•

reviewed the scope of and overall plans for the annual audit and the internal audit program;

•

reviewed new accounting standards applicable to the Company with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, internal
audit department and Ernst & Young LLP;

•

consulted with management and Ernst & Young LLP with respect to the Company’s processes for risk assessment
and risk mitigation;

•

reviewed the Company’s cybersecurity and data privacy risks and the Company’s policies and controls designed
to mitigate these risks;

•

reviewed the implementation and effectiveness of the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Program,
including processes for monitoring compliance with the law, Company policies, and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;
and

•

reviewed and discussed with management its assessment and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2018, which it made based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework).

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed
with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm its review and report on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of April 30, 2018. Based on the foregoing review and discussions described in this report, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

COMPANY PROPOSAL TO AMEND
THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO ALLOW HOLDERS OF 25% OF OUTSTANDING SHARES TO CALL SPECIAL STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS

After careful consideration, the Board declared
it advisable, and recommended to our stockholders that they approve, amendments to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Certificate”) to allow one or more stockholders owning shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of
all outstanding shares of Company common stock who comply with all of the requirements and procedures set forth in our Bylaws to
require the Company to call a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Company’s Special Meeting Proposal”).
Stockholders currently cannot call a special meeting of the stockholders. The relevant section of the Certificate to be amended
is set forth in Annex A. This summary of the proposed amendment to our Certificate is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Annex A. The vote required to approve the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is discussed below.

The Company’s Special
Meeting Proposal

If the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
is approved by stockholders and becomes effective (as described below), our Certificate will be amended to provide that the Company
is required to call a special meeting of the stockholders upon the written request of one or more stockholders who:

•

own shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Company common
stock; and

•

comply with the other requirements and procedures for stockholder-requested special meetings set
forth in our Bylaws from time to time, including the requirements and procedures to be adopted by the Board through the Additional
Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments (as defined below).

Purpose and Effect of
the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal

The Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
is a result of the Board’s ongoing review of our governance practices and the views of our significant stockholders, as well
as a review of the stockholder proposal included in Proposal No. 5 below (the “Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal”).
In developing the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal, the Board carefully considered the implications of amending our Certificate
to grant stockholders the right to require the Company to call a special meeting.

The Board believes that the Company’s
Special Meeting Proposal strikes an appropriate balance between enhancing stockholder rights and adequately protecting stockholder
interests. The Board recognizes that providing stockholders the ability to call special meetings is viewed by some stockholders
as an important corporate governance practice. However, special meetings of the stockholders can be potentially disruptive to business
operations and to long-term stockholder interests and can cause the Company to incur substantial expenses. Accordingly, the Board
believes that the proposed 25% threshold for calling special meetings of the stockholders will help provide that these meetings
are extraordinary events. In addition, the Board believes that stockholder-called special meetings should not be held in close
proximity to annual meetings or when the matters to be addressed have been recently considered or are planned to be considered
at another meeting. The Board would continue to have the ability to call special meetings of the stockholders in other instances
when the Board determines it is appropriate.

The Board determined to include a 25% threshold
in the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal based on several factors. First, the Company maintains robust governance practices
that promote Board accountability, including an independent Chair of the Board and majority voting in uncontested director elections,
with a resignation policy mandating that directors who fail to receive the required majority vote tender their resignation for
consideration by the Board. Second, the Company considered the results of benchmarking against other S&P 500 companies, which
indicated that the 25% threshold is lower than or the same as the most prevalent special meeting threshold adopted by those companies.

In light of these considerations, the Board
adopted resolutions declaring it advisable to amend the Certificate in accordance with this proposal and unanimously resolved to
submit these amendments, which comprise the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal, to our stockholders for consideration and
to recommend that stockholders vote “FOR” the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal.

If the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
is approved by the stockholders and the Certificate is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, upon its effectiveness
the Bylaws will be amended to specify the procedures for stockholder-called special meetings, by adding the language substantially
in the form attached as Annex B. Set forth below is a summary of the amendments the Board expects to adopt (the “Additional
Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments”). This summary of the Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments is qualified in its entirety
by reference to Annex B.

Information Provisions

The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments
would require any stockholder or beneficial owner seeking to require that the Company call the special meeting or soliciting other
stockholders to support a call for the special meeting to provide information to the Company including, but not limited to (i)
a description of the business (including the identity of nominees for election as a director, if any) proposed to be acted on at
the meeting, (ii) the date of signature of each requesting stockholder (or duly authorized agent) submitting the special meeting
request, (iii) the name and address of each stockholder submitting the special meeting request, as they appear on the Company’s
books, (iv) information, representations and agreements required by the Bylaws with respect to any director nominations or other
business proposed to be presented at the special meeting, and as to each stockholder or beneficial owner submitting the special
meeting request, other than stockholders or beneficial owners who have provided such request solely in response to any form of
public solicitation for such requests, and (v) documentary evidence of ownership of shares of common stock of the Company as of
the date the request was signed and any additional information reasonably requested by the Company.

Ownership Provisions

Under the Additional Special Meeting Bylaw
Amendments, a stockholder would initiate the process of requesting a special meeting by requesting that the Board set a record
date for determining the shares of common stock that count toward the 25% ownership threshold.

The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments
would clarify that the 25% ownership threshold is based on a “net long” ownership definition. Under the “net
long” definition, a person would be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Company
as to which the person possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic
interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares, which terms may be further defined in the
Bylaws from time to time. The Board believes a “net long” definition of ownership is appropriate so that only stockholders
with full and continuing economic interest and voting rights in our common stock would be entitled to require that the Company
call a special meeting.

Additional Provisions

The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments
would set forth certain procedural requirements that the Board believes are appropriate to avoid duplicative or unnecessary special
meetings. Under these provisions, a special meeting request would not be valid if it:

•

relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under, or that
involves a violation of, applicable law;

•

relates to an item of business that is the same as or substantially similar to any item of business
that was presented at a meeting of stockholders occurring within 90 days preceding the earliest dated request for a special meeting;

•

is delivered during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year’s annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders; or

•

does not comply with the requirements pertaining to special meeting requests set forth in the Bylaws.

The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments
would state that, if stockholders who requested a special meeting revoke the request or cease to own at least 25% of the voting
power of all outstanding shares of Company common stock at all times between the date the special meeting request was received
by the Company and the date of the applicable stockholder-requested special meeting, the Board would have the discretion to cancel
the special meeting of the stockholders if there were no longer valid unrevoked written requests satisfying the 25% threshold.

The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments
would specify that the business to be transacted at a stockholder-requested special meeting would be limited to the business stated
in the valid special meeting request received by the Company and any additional business that the Board determines to include in
the notice for such special meeting.

The Stockholder Proposal

As described below in Proposal No. 5, the
Company was notified that a stockholder intends to present a proposal for consideration at the Annual Meeting that also addresses
stockholders’ ability to call special meetings of the stockholders. Although the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
and the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal concern the same subject matter, the terms and effects of each proposal differ. Stockholders
may vote on both the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal and the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal, and approval of one
proposal is not conditioned on approval or disapproval of the other proposal. Among the differences between the Company’s
Special Meeting Proposal and the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal are the following:

•

For the reasons discussed above, the Board provided in the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
that one or more holders of shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Company common stock
can require the Company to call a special meeting of the stockholders. The Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal requests that holders
of an aggregate of 10% ownership of

outstanding Company common stock be given the power to call a special meeting of the stockholders, but does not specifically address
why it believes that a 10% threshold is appropriate at the Company.

•

The Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is binding. If stockholders approve the Company’s
Special Meeting Proposal, our Certificate will be amended, thereby providing stockholders who comply with the Bylaws the right
to have the Company call a special meeting of the stockholders. In contrast, the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal is not binding;
approval of the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal requests that the Board consider the matter but does not amend either the
Certificate or the Bylaws.

•

If the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is approved, upon the effectiveness of the amended Certificate the Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments will become effective. The Additional Special Meeting
Bylaw Amendments set forth procedures for stockholders to request a special meeting of the stockholders. The Stockholder Special
Meeting Proposal does not address such terms.

Neither the Company’s Special Meeting
Proposal nor the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal impact the Board’s existing authority to call special meetings of stockholders.

Additional Information

The Company’s Special Meeting Proposal
is binding. If stockholders approve the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal by the requisite vote, we will file a Certificate
of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shortly following the Annual Meeting to incorporate the approved
amendments. The Certificate of Amendment will become effective upon acceptance of the filing by the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware. The Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments described above will become effective upon the effectiveness of the
Certificate of Amendment.

If stockholders do not approve the Company’s
Special Meeting Proposal by the requisite vote, then the Certificate of Amendment will not be filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware, the Additional Special Meeting Bylaw Amendments will not become effective and our stockholders
will not have the ability to require the Company to call a special meeting of stockholders. Approval of the Company’s Special
Meeting Proposal is not conditioned on approval or disapproval of the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal, which means that the
foregoing effects of approval or disapproval of the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal are not affected by approval or disapproval
of the Stockholder Special Meeting Proposal.

REQUIRED VOTE

Approval of the Company’s Special Meeting
Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR”
the approval of proposed amendments to our Certificate to allow holders of 25% of outstanding shares to call special meetings
of the stockholders.

A stockholder has submitted the following proposal
to the Company for action at the Annual Meeting. We will provide the name, address, and share ownership of the stockholder proponent
promptly upon receiving an oral or written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address and phone number listed
on page 72 of this Proxy Statement. The stockholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented
by or on behalf of the stockholder proponent.

Our Board of Directors opposes the adoption of
the proposal and asks you to review our Board’s response, which follows the stockholder’s supporting statement.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL

Proposal 5 –
Special Shareholder Meetings

Resolved, Shareowners ask our board to take the
steps necessary (unilaterally if possible) to amend our bylaws and each appropriate governing document to give holders in the aggregate
of 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareowner meeting (or the closest percentage to 10% according
to state law). This proposal does not impact our board’s current power to call a special meeting.

Special shareholder meetings allow shareholders
to vote on important matters, such as electing new directors that can arise between annual meetings. This proposal topic won more
than 70%-support at Edwards Lifesciences and SunEdison. This proposal topic, sponsored by William Steiner, also won 78% support
at a Sprint annual meeting with 1.7 Billion yes-votes.

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NUAN) shareholders
gave 94%-support on February 28, 2018 to a rule 14a-8 proposal calling for 10% of shareholders to call a special meeting.

It is important that our company goes the extra
mile and adopts an ownership threshold of 10%. Some companies have adopted an ownership threshold of 25% which can be unrealistic.
An ownership threshold of 25% can mean that more than 50% of shareholders must be contacted during a short window of time to simply
call a special meeting. Plus many shareholders, who are convinced that a special meeting should be called, can make a small paperwork
error that will disqualify them from counting toward the ownership threshold that is needed for a special meeting.

Please vote to give management more of an incentive to
listen to shareholders:

The Board unanimously recommends
a vote “AGAINST” the proposal for the reasons discussed below

The Board recommends that stockholders vote “AGAINST”
this proposal because it is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company or stockholders given the Company’s
Special Meeting Proposal in Proposal No. 4 above, which would amend the Certificate to allow one or more stockholders who own shares
representing at least 25% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Company common stock to require the Company to call
a special meeting of stockholders.

The Board believes that this stockholder proposal
does not appropriately balance enhancing stockholder rights and adequately protecting stockholder interests. The Board recognizes
that providing stockholders the ability to request special meetings is viewed by some as an important corporate governance practice.
However, the Board believes that a small minority of stockholders should not be entitled to call special meetings for their own
interests, which may not be shared more broadly by the Company’s stockholders. For this reason, the Board believes that the
25% ownership threshold in the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is more appropriate than the 10% threshold in this stockholder
proposal. Moreover, the 25% ownership threshold in the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is lower than or the same as the
most prevalent special meeting threshold adopted by most companies.

In addition, special meetings of the stockholders
can be potentially disruptive to long-term stockholder interests and Company operations. They also can cause companies to incur
substantial expenses. Accordingly, the Board believes that special meetings of the stockholders should be extraordinary events.
Likewise, the Board believes that stockholders should not be able to call special meetings in close proximity to an annual meeting
or when the matters to be addressed were recently considered or will be considered at an upcoming meeting.

This stockholder proposal also is unnecessary
given that the Company maintains robust governance practices that promote Board accountability, as discussed in this Proxy Statement
under the heading “Corporate Governance,” including:

•

an independent Chair of the Board;

•

a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections, with directors
who fail to receive the required majority vote required to tender their resignation for consideration by the Board;

•

key Board committees chaired by and comprised solely of independent directors; and

•

an active stockholder engagement program as well as the ability of stockholders to send communications
to the members of the Board, any of its committees, the independent directors as a group, or any of the independent directors
by email or in writing.

As result of these factors, our Board believes
that the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal set forth in Proposal No. 4 – and not this stockholder proposal –
strikes the right balance between enhancing stockholder rights and protecting long-term stockholder interests.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD The
Board unanimously recommends that you vote “AGAINST” this stockholder proposal.

The following table sets forth as of July 31,
2018, the beneficial ownership of common stock of the Company of each director and each nominee for director, each named executive

authorized representatives). If your shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, please bring to the Annual Meeting
your bank or broker statement evidencing your beneficial ownership of Company stock to gain admission to the Annual Meeting.
Stockholders who plan to attend the Annual Meeting must present valid photo identification. Stockholders of record will be

Date, there were [•] shares of Company common stock issued and outstanding.

HOW DO I VOTE?

You can vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy.

HOW DO I VOTE BY PROXY?

There are three ways to vote by proxy:

(1)

By Telephone—You can vote by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions on the Notice
or proxy card;

(2)

By Internet—You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the Notice
or proxy card; or

(3)

By Mail—If you received your proxy materials by mail, you can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating, and mailing
the enclosed proxy card.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you will receive instructions
from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted.

If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the proxy card (your “proxies”) will vote your
shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for or against all, some or none of
the nominees for director and whether your shares should be voted for or against each of the other proposals. If you submit
a proxy without indicating your instructions, your shares will be voted as follows:

“FOR” the election of the eight directors nominated
by the Board and named in this Proxy Statement to serve on the Board until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;

•

(2)

Submitting a later dated proxy; or

(3)

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?

Representatives of Broadridge will count the votes and act as the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting.

WHY DID I RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE INTERNET
AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIAL INSTEAD OF A FULL SET OF PRINTED PROXY MATERIALS?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we are making this Proxy Statement available to our stockholders electronically
via the Internet. On or about August [•], 2018, we will mail the Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to stockholders of our common stock at the close of business on
the Record Date, other than those stockholders who previously requested electronic or paper delivery of communications from
us. The Notice contains instructions on how to access an electronic copy of our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement
and our 2018 Annual Report. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the Proxy Statement. We
believe that this process will allow us to provide you with the information you need in a timely manner, while conserving
natural resources and lowering the costs of the Annual Meeting.

CAN I VOTE MY SHARES BY FILLING OUT AND RETURNING THE NOTICE
OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS?

No. The Notice only identifies the items to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. You cannot vote by marking
the Notice and returning it. The Notice provides instructions on how to cast your vote.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE NOTICE OF INTERNET
AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS OR MORE THAN ONE SET OF PRINTED PROXY MATERIALS?

If you hold your shares in more than one account, you may receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability
of Proxy Materials or a separate set of printed proxy materials, including a separate proxy card or voting instruction card,
for each account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please vote by telephone or by Internet or sign, date, and
return a proxy card or voting card for each account.

WHAT IF I OWN SHARES THROUGH THE COMPANY’S 401(K) PLAN?

If you own shares that are held in our 401(k) plan, the trustees of the 401(k) plan will vote those shares.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A “STOCKHOLDER
OF RECORD” AND AS A “BENEFICIAL OWNER”?

You are a “beneficial owner” if your shares are held in a brokerage account, including an Individual
Retirement Account, by a bank or other nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or
other nominee on how to vote your shares. However, because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares
in person at the Annual Meeting. Your broker, bank or other nominee has provided you with voting instructions.

You are a “stockholder of record” if your shares are registered directly in your name with the
Company’s transfer agent.

WHAT IF A BENEFICIAL OWNER DOES NOT PROVIDE THE STOCKHOLDER
OF RECORD WITH VOTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PARTICULAR PROPOSAL?

If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide the stockholder of record with voting instructions for
a particular proposal, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes” with respect to that proposal. “Broker
non-votes” are shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee with respect to which the holder of record does not have
discretionary power to vote on a particular proposal and with respect to which instructions were never received from the beneficial
owner. Shares that constitute broker non-votes with respect to a particular proposal will not be considered present and entitled
to vote on that proposal at the Annual Meeting even though the same shares will be considered present for purposes of establishing
a quorum and may be entitled to vote on other proposals. However, in certain circumstances, such as the appointment of the
independent registered public accounting firm, the broker, bank or other nominee has discretionary authority and therefore
is permitted to vote your shares even if the broker, bank or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you.
Election of directors, the advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation, the Company proposal on special

meetings and the stockholder proposal on special meetings are not considered “routine”
matters and as a result, your broker, bank or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on these matters at the Annual
Meeting unless you provide applicable instructions to do so. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to follow the voting instructions
on the materials you receive.

WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting, a “quorum” must be established. A “quorum”
is a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock. A quorum must be present in person or represented
by proxy at the Annual Meeting for business to be conducted. As discussed below, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

Shares of common stock that reflect abstentions are treated as present and entitled to vote for the purposes of establishing
a quorum. Abstentions will have no effect on director elections, but will have the effect of a vote against all other proposals.
Shares of common stock that reflect broker non-votes are treated as present and entitled to vote for the purposes of establishing
a quorum. However, for the purposes of determining the outcome of any matter as to which the broker or nominee has indicated
on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote, those shares will be treated as not present and not entitled
to vote with respect to that matter, even though those shares are considered present and entitled to vote for the purposes
of establishing a quorum and may be entitled to vote on other matters.

WHAT IS THE VOTING REQUIREMENT TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL?

For Proposal No. 1, in uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, meaning that each
nominee must receive a greater number of shares voted “for” such nominee than the shares voted “against”
such nominee. If an incumbent director does not receive a greater number of shares voted “for” such director than
shares voted “against” such director, then such director must tender his or her resignation to the Board. In that
situation, the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would make a recommendation to the Board about
whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action. Within 90 days from the date the election results
were certified, the Board would act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly
disclose its decision and rationale behind it. In a contested election—a circumstance we do not anticipate—director
nominees are elected by a plurality vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of
directors.

For Proposal No. 2 to be approved, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common
stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal. In determining the outcome of Proposal No. 2,
abstentions have the effect of a negative vote, but broker non-votes will not affect the outcome.

For Proposal No. 3 to be approved, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common
stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal. In determining the outcome of Proposal No. 3,
abstentions have the effect of a negative vote.

For Proposal No. 4 to be approved, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock
entitled to vote thereon. In determining the outcome of Proposal No. 4, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect
of a negative vote.

For Proposal No. 5 to be approved, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common
stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal. In determining the outcome of Proposal No. 5,
abstentions have the effect of a negative vote, but broker non-votes will not affect the outcome.

WHAT HAPPENS IF ADDITIONAL MATTERS (OTHER THAN THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED
IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT) ARE PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

The Board is not aware of any additional matters to be presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting; however, if any additional
matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives Gary D. Burnison and Robert P. Rozek authority to vote
on those matters in their discretion.

WHO WILL BEAR THE COST OF THE PROXY SOLICITATION?

The entire cost of the proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company. We hired D.F. King to assist in the distribution
of proxy materials and solicitation of votes for approximately $25,000 plus reimbursement of any out of pocket expenses. Upon
request, we will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to beneficial owners.

To our knowledge, since the beginning of fiscal
year 2018, the Company has not entered into or proposed to enter into any transaction with any executive officer, director or director
nominee, beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s common stock, or any immediate family member of any
of the foregoing.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTION APPROVAL POLICY

In June 2009, the Board adopted a written amended
and restated policy for the review and approval of all transactions with related persons, pursuant to which the Audit Committee
must review the material facts of, and either approve or disapprove the Company’s entry into, any transaction, arrangement
or relationship or any series thereof in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in
any fiscal year, (2) the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any related person has or will
have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or less than ten percent beneficial owner
of another entity). For purposes of this policy, a “related person” is any person who is or was since the beginning
of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year an executive officer, director or director nominee of the Company, any
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s common stock, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing.
As provided for in the policy, the Audit Committee has reviewed and pre-approved the entry into certain types of related person
transactions, including without limitation the employment of executive officers and director compensation. In addition, the Board
has delegated to the chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve or ratify any transaction with a related person
in which the aggregate amount involved is less than $1,000,000; no such transaction was considered or approved during the Company’s
fiscal year 2018.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING
COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the
Company’s directors, officers and greater than ten percent beneficial owners to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of their equity securities of the Company with the SEC and to furnish the Company with copies of such reports. Based
solely on a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company in fiscal year 2018 and the representations
of reporting persons, all of the filings by the Company’s directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than ten percent
of the Company’s common stock were filed on a timely basis during fiscal 2018 except for a Form 3 for Mr. Martinez.

ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

The Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders
for fiscal 2018, which includes the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018 (excluding the
exhibits thereto) will be made available to stockholders at the same time as this Proxy Statement. Our 2018 Annual Report and Proxy
Statement are posted on our website at www.kornferry.com. If any person who was a beneficial owner
of the common stock of the Company on July 31, 2018 desires a complete copy of the Company’s Form 10-K, including the exhibits
thereto, he/she/it will be provided with such materials without charge upon written request. The request should identify
the requesting person as a beneficial owner of the Company’s stock as of July 31, 2018 and should be directed to Korn Ferry,
1900 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The Company’s Form 10-K,
including the exhibits thereto, is also available through the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Any stockholder or other party interested in
communicating with members of the Board, any of its committees, the independent directors as a group or any of the independent
directors may send written communications to Korn Ferry, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention:
Corporate Secretary or to corporatesecretary@kornferry.com. Communications received in writing are forwarded to the Board, committee
or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening,
illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business, or is similarly inappropriate. The Corporate Secretary has
the authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any
such inappropriate communications. The Company’s Board of Directors will endeavor to promptly respond to all appropriate
communications and encourages all stockholders and interested persons to use the aforementioned email and mailing address to send
communications relating to the Company’s business to the Board and its members.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR CONSIDERATION
AT THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING

If a stockholder wishes to submit a proposal
for consideration at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and wants that proposal
to appear in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting, the proposal must be submitted in writing
and received at Korn Ferry, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention: Corporate Secretary,
no later than [•], 2019. Each stockholder proposal must comply with the Exchange Act, the
rules and regulations thereunder, and the Company’s bylaws as in effect at the time of such notice. The submission of a stockholder
proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy.

The Company’s bylaws also establish an
advance notice procedure with regard to nominating persons for election to the Board and proposals of other business that are not
submitted for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy but that a stockholder instead wishes to present directly at an
annual meeting of stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to submit a nominee or other business for consideration at the 2019 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders without including that nominee or proposal in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy, the
Company’s bylaws require, among other things, that the stockholder submission contain certain information concerning the
nominee or other business, as the case may be, and other information specified in the Company’s bylaws, and that the stockholder
provide the Company with written notice of such nominee or business no later than the close of business on June 28, 2019,
nor earlier than the close of business on May 29, 2019; provided however, that in the event that the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the anniversary date of the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the
2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such
annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made
by the Company. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by the Company
naming the nominees for the additional directorships, a stockholder’s notice will be considered timely, but only with respect
to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive
offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement
is first made by the Company. A stockholder notice should be sent to Korn Ferry, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles,
California 90067, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Proposals or nominations not meeting the advance notice requirements in the Company’s
bylaws will not be entertained at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. A copy of the full text of the relevant bylaw provisions
may be obtained from the Company’s filing with the SEC or by writing our Corporate Secretary at the address identified above.

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate
proxy materials to stockholders who may have more than one account holding Company stock but who share the same address, we have
adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, certain stockholders of record
who have the same address and last name, and who do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, will receive only
one copy of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and, as applicable, any additional proxy materials that are
delivered until such time as one or more of these stockholders notify us that they want to receive separate copies. This procedure
reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources. Stockholders who participate
in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If you receive a single set of proxy materials
as a result of householding, and you would like to have separate copies of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials,
Annual Report, or Proxy Statement mailed to you, please submit a request, either in writing or by phone, by contacting the Company
at Korn Ferry, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention: Corporate Secretary or at (310)
552-1834, and we will promptly send you the materials you have requested. However, please note that if you want to receive a paper
proxy or voting instruction form or other proxy materials for the purposes of this year’s Annual Meeting, you will need to
follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability that was sent to you. You can also contact our Corporate
Secretary at the telephone number noted previously if you received multiple copies of the annual meeting materials and would prefer
to receive a single copy in the future, or if you would like to opt out of householding for future mailings.

Set forth below is the text of the provisions of our Certificate
proposed to be amended by Proposal No. 4. Additions are indicated by double underlining and deletions are indicated by strike-through.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XII:
Meetings of the Stockholders

Article XII: Meetings of the Stockholders

Section 1. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders
may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide.

Section 2. Ability
to Call Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders: (a) may be called only by the
Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Corporation, and (b)
shall be called by the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Corporate Secretary upon the written request or requests of one
or more persons that: (i) own (as such term is defined in the Bylaws of the Corporation, as amended from time to time) shares
representing at least 25% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the record date fixed in accordance with the Bylaws of the
Corporation to determine who may deliver a written request to call a special meeting, and (ii) comply with such other
requirements and procedures for requesting a special meeting of stockholders as may be set forth in the Bylaws of the
Corporation and amended from time to time. The foregoing provisions of this Article XII shall be subject to the provisions of
the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time) that, among other things, limit the ability to make a request
for a special meeting and that specify the circumstances pursuant to which a request for a special meeting will be deemed to
be revoked. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

If the Company’s Special Meeting Proposal is approved by
the stockholders and the Certificate of Amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, upon its effectiveness
the Bylaws will be amended to specify the procedures for stockholder-requested special meetings, by adding the language substantially
in the form set forth below.

Article II: Stockholders

Section 4. Special Meetings.

(b)

Procedures for Stockholder-Requested Special Meetings.

(i)

For purposes of satisfying the Requisite Percent under this Section 4, a person is deemed
to “Own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation as to which such person possesses both (A)
the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares, and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity
for profit and risk of loss on) such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares calculated in accordance with
clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (1) sold by such person or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has
not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such person or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person
or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract
of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such person or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument
or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of stock of
the corporation, if the instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect
of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such person’s or its affiliates’ full right
to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising
from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or its affiliate. A person “Owns” shares held in the
name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as such person retains both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining
to the shares, and (B) the full economic interest in the shares. The person’s Ownership of shares is deemed to continue
during any period in which the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument
or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person, but not during any period in which the person has loaned the shares.

(ii)

Any stockholder seeking to request a special meeting shall first request that the Board fix a record date to determine
the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Ownership Record Date”) by delivering notice in writing
to the Secretary of the corporation at the principal executive office of the corporation (the “Record Date Request Notice”).
A stockholder’s Record Date Request Notice shall contain the name and address of the stockholder, the class or series
and number of shares of stock of the corporation which are Owned of record and beneficially by the stockholder and state the
business proposed to be acted on at the meeting.

(iii)

Following receipt of a valid Record Date Request Notice by the Secretary of the Corporation, the Board may set an Ownership
Record Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of these bylaws, the Ownership Record Date shall not precede the date upon
which the resolution fixing the Ownership Record Date is adopted by the Board, and shall not be more than 10 days after the
close of business (as defined in paragraph (c)(ii) of Section 3) on the date upon which the resolution fixing the Ownership
Record Date is adopted by the Board. If the Board, within 10 days after the date upon which a valid Record Date Request Notice
is received by the Secretary of the corporation, does not adopt a resolution fixing the Ownership Record Date, the Ownership
Record Date shall be the close of business on the 10th day after the date upon which a valid Record Date Request Notice is
received by the Secretary of the corporation (or, if such 10th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter).

(iv)

In order for a special meeting requested by the stockholders to be called by the Chair of the Board or the Secretary of
the corporation, one or more written requests for a special meeting signed by stockholders (or their duly authorized agents)
who Own or who are acting on behalf of persons who Own, as of the Ownership Record Date, at least the Requisite Percent (the
“Special Meeting Request”), shall be delivered to the Secretary of the corporation. A Special Meeting Request
shall (A) state the business (including the identity of nominees for election as a director, if any) proposed to be acted
on at the meeting, which shall be limited to the business set forth in the Record

Date Request Notice received by the Secretary of the corporation, (B) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder
(or duly authorized agent) submitting the Special Meeting Request, (C) set forth the name and address of each stockholder
submitting the Special Meeting Request, as they appear on the corporation’s books, (D) contain the information required
by paragraph (a)(ii) of Section 3 with respect to any director nominations or other business proposed to be presented at the
special meeting, and as to each stockholder requesting the meeting and each other person (including any beneficial owner)
on whose behalf the stockholder is acting, other than stockholders or beneficial owners who have provided such request solely
in response to any form of public solicitation for such requests, (E) include documentary evidence that the requesting stockholders
Own the Requisite Percent as of the Ownership Record Date; provided, however, that if the requesting stockholders are not
the beneficial owners of the shares representing the Requisite Percent, then to be valid, the Special Meeting Request must
also include documentary evidence of the number of shares Owned by the beneficial owners on whose behalf the Special Meeting
Request is made as of the Ownership Record Date, and (F) be delivered to the Secretary of the corporation at the principal
executive office of the corporation, by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, within 60 days
after the Ownership Record Date. The Special Meeting Request shall be updated and supplemented within 5 business days after
the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the stockholder-requested special meeting (or by the
opening of business on the date of the meeting, whichever is earlier, if the record date for determining the stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the
meeting), and in either case such information when provided to the corporation shall be current as of the record date for
determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In addition, the requesting stockholder and each other person
(including any beneficial owner) on whose behalf the stockholder is acting, shall provide such other information as may be
reasonably requested by the corporation within 10 business days of such a request.

(v)

After receiving a Special Meeting Request, the Board shall determine in good faith whether the stockholders requesting
the special meeting have satisfied the requirements for calling a special meeting, and the corporation shall notify the requesting
stockholder of the Board’s determination about whether the Special Meeting Request is valid, which determination shall
be conclusive and binding on the corporation and all stockholders and other persons. The date, time and place of the special
meeting shall be fixed by the Board, and the date of the special meeting shall not be more than 90 days after the date on
which the Board fixes the date of the special meeting. The record date for the special meeting shall be fixed by the Board
as set forth in Section 9 of this Article II.

(vi)

A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid, and the corporation shall not call a special meeting if (A) the Special
Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under, or that involves
a violation of, applicable law, (B) an item of business that is the same or substantially similar (as determined in good faith
by the Board) to any item that was presented at a meeting of the stockholders occurring within 90 days preceding the earliest
date of signature on the Special Meeting Request, provided that the removal of directors and the filling of the resulting
vacancies shall not be considered the same or substantially similar to the election of directors at the preceding annual meeting
of stockholders, (C) the Special Meeting Request is delivered during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders, or (D) the
Special Meeting Request does not comply with the requirements of this Section 4.

(vii)

Any stockholder who submitted a Special Meeting Request may revoke its written request by written revocation delivered
to the Secretary of the corporation at the principal executive office of the corporation at any time prior to the stockholder-requested
special meeting. A Special Meeting Request shall be deemed revoked (and any meeting scheduled in response may be cancelled)
if the stockholders submitting the Special Meeting Request, and any beneficial owners on whose behalf they are acting (as
applicable), do not continue to Own at least the Requisite Percent at all times between the date the Record Date Request Notice
is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable stockholder-requested special meeting, and the requesting stockholder
shall promptly notify the Secretary of the corporation of any decrease in Ownership of shares of stock of the corporation
that results in such a revocation. If, as a result of any revocations, there are no longer valid unrevoked written requests
from the Requisite Percent, the Board shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.

(viii)

Business transacted at a stockholder-requested special meeting shall be limited to (A) the business stated in the valid
Special Meeting Request received from the Requisite Percent, and (B) any additional business that the Board determines to
include in the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). If none of the stockholders who submitted
the Special Meeting Request (or a qualified representative thereof as defined in paragraph (c)(i) of Section 3) appears at
the special meeting to present the matter or matters to be brought before the special meeting that were specified in the Special
Meeting Request, the corporation need not present the matter or matters for a vote at the meeting, notwithstanding that proxies
in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.
